Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The East Kentucky Science Center held the 25th annual East Kentucky Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Saturday, February 25th. Throughout our region, we cover 15 counties. We ask teachers to hold a fair at their school so they prepare all year. They pick the first place projects from their school fair and we bring them over here to the Science Center and we conduct a regional fair. They compete at this level and they're chosen the first and second place winners from this fair. Our regional fair are advanced to state and then we also have some special awards and certificates and money that they can win so it's a good time. The Science Fair offers students many opportunities like networking with other like-minded peers and experience such as public speaking and public presentation that will help them in whatever field they go into in the future. We really want to get the word out that there are amazing opportunities, not just monetary and like trophy-wise, but they have amazing opportunities to network and build connections with other students at these other levels. And these could be like lifelong endeavors, especially if they get scholarships and stipends and things like that that could help them in their STEM careers and things. Since COVID, the number of participants has dropped slightly. Scott Goble hopes that in the years to come they can get more involvement from the schools in the 15 counties they cover.
