The Science Fair is coming up and we are very excited to see the hard work of several weeks come to fruition next week! This year the number of submissions are the most we’ve seen in recent years…over 120! As a reminder, the science fair boards are due for drop off on Tuesday, March 28 at the MP room between 7:45 to 8:05am. The students will get to see the boards during school hours and we have a special treat for all the Duveneck Parents during Family Night the very same evening of Tuesday, March 28 between 6:00 – 8:00pm.
The Science Fair encourages scientific thinking while promoting STEM for our students. We wanted to do something fun and exciting, so this year we have the Peninsula Robotics team coming by to talk to the students during Family Night. What better example of the scientific methodology than to hear from those who live and breathe it in everyday life. The Peninsula Robotics are a nonprofit high school robotics team, unaffiliated with any school and run out of a garage! This team just won the Arizona East regionals and are now on to the Nationals. We want to invite ALL Duveneck parents to Family Night on Tuesday, March 28 between 6-8pm to come join and encourage the children in their journey towards scientific curiosity and exploration.
