Budding Young Scientist

G participated in his school science fair a few weeks ago. Here he is proudly in front of his display board. He came up with a great experiment and truly seemed to enjoy the process. We are quite proud of his effort!

To be honest, I didn't know science fairs were even held anymore. This brought back a few memories of my youth. Except back in the day it was an actual (dare I say it) competition. Imagine that. None of this participation award nonsense. None of this everyone is a winner nonsense. Projects were judged on content and merit and relevancy and prizes were awarded. I'm sure there was disappointment in losing just as there was excitement in winning, but it was handled and kids moved on. Sure wish it was still like that today ...
