Welcome to the 2015
VIRGINIA PIEDMONT REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR
Welcome to the 33rd Annual Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair! Science has been a part of
my life since the 6th grade when my model of a nuclear reactor won first prize at my elementary
school science fair. That experience ignited my interest in science so much that I continued my
education in the sciences through college and career, and I believe the Regional Fair has the
potential to have the same effect on our region’s bright young students.
A science fair is a competition in which students exhibit and demonstrate their projects to the
judges and the public. The science fair serves several purposes: it stimulates in young people an
active interest in science and engineering; it provides an educational experience to students in
addition to the classroom through exposure to mentors, judges and the public; and it provides a
forum for talented students to interact with peers with similar interests and to receive public
recognition for their work. This year we invite students to share their experiences in real time using
Facebook and Twitter. We hope our students’ science fair experience contributes to their decision
to enter a science or engineering profession and that the relationships they forge through their Fair
experience will prosper for years to come.
On behalf of our organization, let me take this opportunity to congratulate all the participating
students from our region. This year, over 400 students from our Region have worked diligently to
prepare projects involving mathematic, scientific or engineering principles. Although certain
students will be singled out for special recognition, every participating student is a winner. We
would like to thank the parents and teachers of these students for their support. We know that
without the guidance and encouragement of parents, and the dedication and skills of teachers and
mentors, our students could not carry out their projects to successful completion.
We sincerely thank our sponsors and volunteers for their support of our region’s young students.
Your contributions will encourage their continued interest and involvement in the sciences and
engineering and recognize their discovery and learning through competing in our Regional Science
Fair.
We also appreciate your attendance. Your presence confirms the importance of this event and of the
educational achievements of our youth.
We hope to see you here again next year. Congratulations and best of luck to all our students!

What is the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair?
The Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is an opportunity for students
interested in the science and engineering fields to earn recognition and
participate in an inspiring learning experience. The Fair is affiliated with the
International Science and Engineering Fair and is open to all 6 th – 12th grade
students in the Piedmont Region.
Students compete in their school fairs where projects are selected to
participate in our Regional Fair. At our fair they are interviewed by a panel
of volunteer judges who are often from a scientific or engineering field
themselves. The winners are announced the evening of the Fair.
Why The Fair Is Important
Much more than a competition, the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is an educational and
motivating experience for the students. Your involvement as a teacher, mentor, sponsor or
volunteer is an opportunity to encourage young people who have already begun to show serious
interest in science and engineering. Math, science and engineering have long been identified as
critical skill development areas by state and federal government. Today, China and India graduate
14 engineers for every one graduated in the USA. With your support the Fair can help inspire many
of our students to pursue careers in science or engineering and keep the USA competitive
internationally.
Students from Piedmont Virginia representing
more than thirty different schools from over a
dozen school divisions are eligible. Middle
School students (Junior Division) and
High School students (Senior Division)
are judged separately in each of 17
science and engineering categories.
Albemarle, Culpeper, Fluvanna, Greene, King George, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange,
Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, and Stafford counties are in the Science Fair region. The Fair is open
to students in public, private, parochial and home schools in the region. We welcome the
participation of all 6th through 12th grade students in our region even when their school does not
include the Fair in their science program.

Awards
Our philosophy is that all students who participate in the science fair are winners. School programs
are strengthened by students doing independent projects, developing displays, having work judged
by professionals, sharing similar interests with other students, competing for awards, and receiving
recognition for their academic work.
