On Friday November 13, 2019, SWE HA volunteers visited Gregg Elementary School to participate in their annual Science Fair, hosted and sponsored by the Port City Links, Inc., along with other local organizations. It was a great event and we had lots of fun traveling down memory lane while getting to experience science projects from kindergarten through 5th grade students. The projects ranged from telling the difference between name brand and generic cereal, which item is more likely to float based on density, does a specific type of music make you eat faster, does the temperature of soda affect its fizz level and many more. We had a great time interviewing the 5th graders on their projects, as they were judge on one additional area of being able to discuss and appropriately communicate the various elements of their project. The students took pride in participating in the science fair and were very confident when answering questions. The school has reported steady increases of grades since the start of this annual science fair, which is always good to hear. Thanks you to the volunteers Nelia and Sandhya for attending his event with me! We hope to have more volunteers for next year. -L.Lowe, VP Career Guidance and Outreach
