Program Recap

Butterflies, wind energy, and  the challenges of a middle school science test were just some of the topics of study by the winners of the STC writing competition at this year’s Arizona Science and Engineering Fair. Once again, our chapter has played an important role by judging student reports. Read all about it here:
