According to their website, the Vermont Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Fair is “an exciting opportunity for aspiring scientists (grades 5-12) to showcase the results of their independent research. Each year 200+ student projects covering all areas of science, technology, engineering and math present their research and are judged by at least three judges. Our judges include scientists, secondary education faculty, dentists, physicians, nurses, military personnel and retirees, and other science related professionals from across Vermont. Students compete for cash and trip prizes donated by local organizations as well as scholarships to Vermont colleges. The fair is also affiliated with the International Science and Engineering Fair, and five other national and international competitions.”
