More than 140 projects were uploaded to this yearâs online Science Odyssey sponsored by the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, proving that not even a pandemic could stand in the way of students showcasing their love of science.â¯
Instead of displaying their projects on the traditional tri-fold presentation boards, students submitted their projects to zFairs, an online science fair platform. The platform, which also hosted this yearâs Alameda County Science & Engineering Fair, allowed the students to include video, along with their written and pictorial content.
The public can view the online Science Odyssey Showcase through April 30. For information on how to access the showcase, go to www.livermoreschools.org/scienceodyssey.
