Mastodon Fair

UPDATE!! The Mastodon Art/Science Regional Fair is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is encouraging our youth in art and science education through ...competitive events. Students in Kindergarten through 12th grade from public, private and home schools compete for prizes and scholarships.

A Facebook Live Drawing will be held after those 200 are sold. Second Place Prize is a set of Patriot Themed Cornhole Boards and a Weber Smokey Joe.

STEM Research Grants Application Now Open! (https://srg.societyforscience.org/) Since many schools will not meet in person this year, we know that many students will not have access to lab equipment at school to complete their projects. We have modified our STEM Research Grants program and moved up the timeline to get take-home lab equipment to teachers as quickly as possible. We hope they will loan this equipment out to students to complete the projects. One hundred teacher...s will be selected to receive $1,000 in take-home kits. Thank you for all you do to support students in science fairs, especially in these unusual times. Learn more details about the program here: https://www.societyforscience.org/out/stem-research-grants/. Best, Caitlin Sullivan Director, Outreach & Equity Programs Society for Science & the Public
