The MOST hosts its annual Central New York Science & Engineering Fair every March at SRC Arena on the Onondaga Community College campus. Students get the lifelong benefit of understanding science in a unique, hands-on way by actually performing an experiment of their own design or engineering a device or process.

There are two categories:

• Junior, for fourth- through eighth-graders
• Senior, ninth- through 12^th graders

All students complete for awards that can include cash prizes. Senior-level students also compete for substantial college scholarships and an all-expenses paid trip to the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair.

The next science fair is scheduled for March 26, 2017.

Sponsors: Lockheed Martin, the Technology Alliance of Central New York, NASA Space Grant NYS, and Time Warner’s Connect a Million Minds
