<\/a><\/p>\nStudents from any school in Calaveras county grades 4 th -12 th are eligible to enter the Calaveras County Science Fair, provided by the Calaveras County Office of Education (CCOE). The county level science fair is the qualifying platform for students to be invited to attend the California State and Engineering Fair (CSEF) in April. Each project is judged on a strict rubric that determines which projects are eligible for CSEF. Both the county and state science fairs are virtual this year. Students are provided specific guidelines to follow in order to meet the requirements for each fair.<\/p>\n
Calaveras county students who entered this year\u2019s county science fair represented schools from all over the county. Each school district had students participate as well as the local private and charter schools. Judges for the science fair are local scientists and professionals who volunteer their time to this event.<\/p>\n
The newly formed STEM Advisory Council was responsible raising the prize money and provided support during the preliminary and judging processes. A virtual presentation of the winner\u2019s projects was provided to the donors of the prize money. The recording is now available for viewing on the CCOE YouTube channel, the CCOE website and Calaveras Public Access TV. The support and community collaboration that the STEM Advisory Council added to this event has proven to be invaluable. The council members are also providing coaching and mentoring for those students who will enter the state fair in April.<\/p>\n
CCOE provides county-wide student events to all students in Calaveras county. This is made possible by the generous donations of local community members and businesses. Sponsors of the Calaveras County Science Fair include: Calaveras Community Foundation, CCOE, Bank of Stockton, CV Development, Angels-Murphy Rotary, Middleton\u2019s, Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee and the Murphy\u2019s Historic Hotel & Restaurant. The donors for the new category winner cash prizes were also local community members and business.<\/p>\n
The community can view results, category cash prize winners, each student\u2019s video submission and the recorded live presentation by the category winners at www.ccoe.k12.ca.us\/sciencefair.
