Galveston County Science and Engineering Fair 

The 2004 Science and Engineering Fair of Galveston County will be held Saturday, February 28, at Galveston College in the gymnasium.   The exhibits will be open to public viewing from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and organizers are expecting over 250 participants from Galveston County high schools and middle schools.   The fair, now in its 22^nd year, is co-sponsored by The University of Texas Medical Branch, Texas A&M University at Galveston and Galveston College. 

“Since 1983, the Science and Engineering Fair of Galveston County has helped to encourage and recognize future generations of professionals," said Dr. Laurie Sower, who serves as co-chair of the fair.  "Through hands-on engineering and lab-bench science projects the annual science fair affords students from our county’s high schools the chance to display their creative energies and talents.  Several of these young men and women advance to state and national competitions.”

The Science and Engineering Fair of Galveston County Steering Committee has received donations of scholarships, cash prizes and merchandise from organizations and individuals on a national and regional basis.
