Welcome to the 2020
VIRGINIA PIEDMONT REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR
Welcome to the 39th Annual Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair! Science has been a part of
my life since the 6th grade when my model of a nuclear reactor won first prize at my elementary
school science fair. That experience ignited my interest in science so much that I continued my
education in the sciences through college and career, and I believe the Regional Fair has the
potential to have the same effect on our region’s bright young students.
A science fair is a competition in which students exhibit and demonstrate their projects to the
judges and the public. The science fair serves several purposes: it stimulates in young people an
active interest in science and engineering; it provides an educational experience to students in
addition to the classroom through exposure to mentors, judges and the public; and it provides a
forum for talented students to interact with peers with similar interests and to receive public
recognition for their work. This year we invite students to share their experiences in real time using
Facebook and Instagram. We hope our students’ science fair experience contributes to their
decision to enter a science or engineering profession and that the relationships they forge through
their Fair experience will prosper for years to come.
On behalf of our organization, let me take this opportunity to congratulate all the participating
students from our region. This year, over 300 students from our Region have worked diligently to
prepare projects involving mathematic, scientific or engineering principles. Although certain
students will be singled out for special recognition, every participating student is a winner. We
would like to thank the parents and teachers of these students for their support. We know that
without the guidance and encouragement of parents, and the dedication and skills of teachers and
mentors, our students could not carry out their projects to successful completion.
We sincerely thank our sponsors and volunteers for their support of our region’s young students.
Your contributions will encourage their continued interest and involvement in the sciences and
engineering and recognize their discovery and learning through competing in our Regional Science
Fair.
We also appreciate your attendance. Your presence confirms the importance of this event and of the
educational achievements of our youth.
We hope to see you here again next year. Congratulations and best of luck to all our students!

What is the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair?
The Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is an opportunity for
students interested in the science and engineering fields to earn
recognition and participate in an inspiring learning experience.
The Fair is affiliated with the International Science and
Engineering Fair and is open to all 6th – 12th grade students in the
Piedmont Region.
Students compete in their school fairs where projects are selected to participate in our Regional
Fair. At our fair they are interviewed by a panel of volunteer judges who are often from a scientific
or engineering field themselves. The winners are announced the evening of the Fair.
Why The Fair Is Important Much more than a competition, the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is an educational and
motivating experience for the students. Your involvement as a teacher, mentor, sponsor or
volunteer is an opportunity to encourage young people who have already begun to show serious
interest in science and engineering. Math, science and engineering have long been identified as
critical skill development areas by state and federal government. Today, China and India graduate
14 engineers for every one graduated in the USA. With your support the Fair can help inspire many
of our students to pursue careers in science or engineering and keep the USA competitive
internationally.
Students from Piedmont Virginia representing more than thirty different schools from over a dozen
school divisions are eligible. Middle School students (Junior Division) and High School students
(Senior Division) are judged separately in each of 17 science and engineering categories.
Albemarle, Culpeper, Fluvanna,
Greene, King George, Louisa,
Madison, Nelson, Orange,
Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, and
Stafford counties are in the Science
Fair region. The Fair is open to
students in public, private, parochial
and home schools in the region. We
welcome the participation of all 6th
through 12th grade students in our
region even when their school does not
include the Fair in their science
program.
2020 Program 2 www.vprsf.org
Awards Our philosophy is that all students who participate in the science fair are winners. School programs
are strengthened by students doing independent projects, developing displays, having work judged
by professionals, sharing similar interests with other students, competing for awards, and receiving
recognition for their academic work.
First, second and third place are awarded in each category and division. More than 100 special awards are presented by more than 30 organizations.
Divisions Junior Division – students in grades 6 through 8 (J-series of exhibits). Senior Division – students in grades 9 through 12 (S-series of exhibits).
