Students move forward with science fair projects – Yu

While many activities have been canceled or postponed due to COVID-19, several academic centered activities are still in full swing.
“It’s been a priority for the directors of the regional, state and international science fairs that the ‘Fair’s must go on!’ even if they are virtual,” says Yuma High School science teacher Am Melby.
Facilitating student research during a global pandemic has been met with many challenges.
“Scientific research is always a challenging course, but this year there are a few additional challenges. In addition to students being both in person and virtual, the primary challenge has been helping students develop projects that can be completed at school or at home,” says Melby.
