BEMIDJI —
is seeking applications for the Northern Minnesota Regional Science Fair taking place Friday, February 28 at BSU.
Students in grades 6-12 can submit projects by Monday, February 10. Students must reside in one of the following counties: Aitkin, Beltrami, Benton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake. Woods, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pennington, Red Lake, Roseau or Wadena.
Especially for students attending schools that no longer host local fairs, the fair allows students to register and compete directly in a regional competition and potentially qualify for a state-level fair in March , indicates a press release.
Participants can win prizes in their categories and special prizes will be awarded for projects demonstrating innovation and the potential for real-world impact, a statement said.
The best projects will compete at the 87th Annual Minnesota Science and Engineering Fair on Friday, March 28, at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.
