AISD Students Place at Regional Science Fair

More than 50 Aldine ISD student science projects — individual and group projects — competed in the 2014 Science Engineering Fair of Houston (SEFH) at the George R. Brown Convention Center in February. The projects advanced to the regional event after placing at the [icons icon_name=”icon-external-link” icon_size=”14px”]district level science fair.

There are two types of judges at SEFH – Place Award Judges and Special Awarding Agency Judges. Special Award judges represent organizations, professional societies or companies and can decide whom they want to judge based on project type, gender type and particular interests of the group they are representing.

Several projects earned placed and/or earned special award honors.
