MCSD hosted its annual District Science Fair on Friday, January 25 at the STEAM Center.  More than 100 students in 5th-8th grades who won their school fairs had a chance to present their projects to judges from UC Merced and local industry.  Winners were selected for each grade level, and 20 projects were chosen to move on the Merced County Office of Education STEM Fair, which will be held on March 6 at UC Merced.  Congratulations to all of the participants, and thank you to the staff, family members, and local experts who supported them along the way!
