We are happy to announce that the 9^th Annual Mount Washington Valley Regional Science & Technology Fair will be held on Thursday, May 12, 2016.

Granite State College, the Mt. Washington Valley Economic Council, the UNH Cooperative Extension, Mount Washington Observatory and many other local businesses are proud to once again sponsor this event.

This year we are limiting entries to 300 exhibits so that we can better utilize the facility and offer a better experience for exhibitors, judges and spectators.

Additional information will be forthcoming.

North Conway, New Hampshire – May 15, 2015 – It was another inspiring and successful year!  The 8^th Annual MWV Regional Science and Technology Fair was held on Thursday, May 14^th at the Granite State College campus located at the MWV Economic Council’s Technology Village in Conway, NH.  This is the largest science fair in the State of New Hampshire with over 400 registrants.  Students of the valley in grades 7 – 12 presented to judges, visiting students in the 5^th and 6^th grade, families and community members as they shared their passion for investigation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).  It was a stellar event and we applaud all of the students who participated.  Their hard work and dedication was appreciated by all who attended.

Another fantastic aspect of this event was the Passport Project, which offers local 5^th and 6^th grade students the opportunity to get involved.  Each student is given a passport that requires them to ask questions and interact with the exhibitors.  In the end, the passport students walk away with a better sense of the scientific process while the exhibitors get the opportunity to showcase their hard work.  This year we had nearly 300 students coming from 7 different local elementary schools.

The committee of the MWV Regional Science and Technology Fair would also like to thank the volunteers who helped to set-up, break down, greet visitors and monitor the halls. Additional volunteers included 104 judges who had a very tough decision.  In our eyes all of the students accomplished their goals.  Thank you to all for your support and participation, and thank you to the teachers of this community.
