St. Clair STEM Leaders,
Please see email below and pass it on to all your science teachers.

Thanks,
Laura, Minna, and Jim



Registration for the 2018 FRSF is now open.   www.flintsciencefair.org
 
The holidays can be a great time to think about possible project interests and to plan. 
 
Please encourage your students (current and former) to take advantage of the opportunities the FRSF presents.   Our web site has many helps and links to resources that can be valuable for you as well as your students. 
 
Of particular note are two items with links from the Student Resources page—"The Scientific Method" and "The Engineering Method" that can help students appreciate the differences in approaches to problem solving and experimentation.   Special equipment needed?  We may be able to help from our pool of instruments and lab ware that can be borrowed.

If you are considering hosting a local science fair we would be happy to help in any way we can.  Our Teacher Information Handbook is a good starting point.  We also encourage you and your colleagues to consider being a judge at our fair.  It is a wonderful way to see what kids are up to, meet other judges who are professionals in fields you may or not be familiar with and who might become a resource for you.  Never been a judge before?  Not to worry. Our Judges Handbook is a great starter kit. 
 
Thank you for your interest in the Flint Regional Science Fair.  If you have any questions or we can be of assistance in any way please don't hesitate to contact us via email at director@flintsciencefair.org or call 810-797-5290.
 
Our 2018 FRSF Poster and Tri-Fold brochure are available for download from our web site www.flintsciencefair.org .  Both print onto 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
