Hypatian Heroes Science Fair from July 11-Aug 15

The first session will be mandatory so that we have a headcount. If a family is unable to attend, they can reach out via email to ensure that their child is counted and caught up.

July 11: Students will be introduced to the science fair process, learn the basics of the scientific method, and begin brainstorming project ideas based on their interests. By the end of the session, each participant will have selected a project topic and understand the expectations for the weeks ahead.

July 18: Students will present their project ideas, research questions, and hypotheses to the group, receiving feedback from mentors and peers. They will explain how they plan to conduct their experiment and identify the variables they will test.

July 25: Students will demonstrate their progress by sharing their experiments or explaining the procedures they have completed so far. Mentors will help troubleshoot challenges and provide guidance on accurate data collection and observation techniques.

August 1: Students will present their collected data and explain the results of their experiments. They will learn how to interpret their findings, determine whether their hypothesis was supported, and begin drafting their conclusions.

August 8: Students will present a draft of their science fair display board and practice explaining their projects to an audience. Mentors and peers will provide constructive feedback to help students strengthen both their presentations and display boards before the science fair.

August 15: Students will showcase their completed science fair projects by presenting their research, methods, results, and conclusions to families and community members. The session will celebrate each participant's hard work while building confidence in public speaking and scientific communication.

After each session, students will get homework to extend their science exploration.
