Students present at Science Fairs

ODESSA - Three students from the Advanced Science Research Laboratory at the Odessa High School Science Department presented their independent science and engineering research at the Annual Eastern Washington Regional Science and Engineering Fair hosted by WSU-Spokane March 15.

Each completed the paperwork required, created their poster presentations, and presented in front of a variety of judges. The next week, those same three students once again presented their research Saturday, April 1 at the 66th Annual Washington State Science and Engineering Fair at Bremerton.
