More than 250 Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) students extend an

invitation to the public, as they exhibit their latest science projects at the Gwinnett

Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Friday, February 8, 2008, at the Gwinnett

County Fairgrounds from 5 - 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend and learn about

the high levels of scientific inquiry and experimentation occurring in Gwinnett science

classrooms.

This year’s competition features 142 different student-researched projects in the

fields of biochemistry, physics, behavioral sciences and engineering. More than 250

students, representing nine high schools, have worked on projects individually or in

teams.

This year’s participating high schools are:

School Team Individual Total Projects Projects Number of projects Berkmar High 3 4 7 Brookwood High 13 2 15 Collins Hill High 21 25 46 Dacula High 16 2 18 Duluth High 0 3 3 Norcross High 0 6 6 Parkview High 0 5 5 Peachtree Ridge High 6 24 30 South Gwinnett High 18 0 18 Total Projects 148

The science projects will be judged by Georgia professionals and scientists based on

scientific quality, accuracy, creativity, and experimental design.

The projects competing at the county level already have garnered first or second

place at their local school science fairs. The students who earn first place at the county

level will move to the next round of competition-- the Georgia Science and

Engineering Fair-- which will be held April 2-5 at the Athens Classic Center in Athens.
