Find competitions to enter to test out your science experiments and possibly win prizes!
Are you ready for the 2019-2020 science fair contest> If you have been following this blog then you know how passionate I am about students knowing how to do a science fair project because it is a metaphor for life. Once you know the steps of doing the scientific method or an engineering design process […]
Today students need every advantage that we can offer them. As educators, we are aware that providing the resources that our students need to excel in the world is not always easy because of budget deficits. However, there are companies that are trying to lend a helping hand to schools, students, universities, teachers and communities. […]
This week I want to talk about the science programs and competitions offered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Competitions (NREL). This foundation offers programs and competitions for elementary school students, middle school students and high school students. Read on to learn about tutoring programs and science competitions. If you are associated with an elementary […]
This week we are going to be looking at the National Energy Education Development Project Youth Awards Program. While this is not a science competition, per se, it is a way for schools to recognize outstanding students for their science achievements. The focus of this program is classroom science exploration. It is designed to encourage […]
The ExploraVision competition is a scholarship Olympiad that focuses on the development of future technologies. This competition is open to kids from Kindergarten all the way through the 12th grade. The best part about this science competition is that it offers high value scholarships as well as valuable regional awards. For example, the first place […]
The Intel Science Talent Search competition just completed its competition in Phoenix, Arizona. 1800 high school students entered from schools across the United States. They presented projects from the fields of math, science and engineering. This year the top winner, Krithik Ramesh, earned $75,000. He developed a system to help spinal surgeons perform operations more […]
The Canon Envirothon Competition is a national event. If you are interested in preserving our natural resources, then this is the place for you to explore. There are 20 key topics, 5 areas of concentrations: Forestry, Aquatic Ecology, Soils/Land Use, Wildlife, Current Environmental Issues. Get all the rules and regulations on Canon’s Envirothon site….

We are so excited to have the first science fair projects site for parents, teachers, homeschoolers and students where you can share your ideas, projects and experiments with each other worldwide. This is truly a forum where an interested community can seek answers to their questions.
We all run into stumbling blocks when we are working on a project. I am sure that other people have the same experience
Building in 1 Direction: The rods can be connected in-line without the intermediate need of a connector, almost reducing to half the quantity of parts required to build models.
Building in 2 Direction: While the assembled rod looks uniform with nothing protruding, it may provide building directions vertically and sideways by simply snap fitting another rod to one of the bi-directional side cavities. This innovative design allows snap assembly on both sides simultaneously and greatly enhances the expandability of the System.
Building in 3 Directions: The System is capable of tackling with the same ease as all the other building directions. All directions of the 3D space are accessible by combining the rods with the various types of connectors.
Connecting in Fixed Angles: This system makes it possible to build complex models that require connections of 45°
Building Machines: The optimized design of Engino components consists of only 18 different types of multi-functional parts. Yet you can build simple and complex machines. Following the same design principles of the basic system, a range of different types of gears, pulleys, axles and accessories make it the ideal constructional toy for home and school.
