The Mastodon Art/Science Regional Fair is happy and excited to announce that the Science Coaching grant of 2008 has been refunded!! Through this grant three high school teachers and one junior high school teacher received money in 2008 to do what they were already doing and receive one on one assistance from Fair personnel. The teachers received a total of $1000.00. $800.00 was for their personal use and $200.00 was to be used for classroom materials that would assist with doing quality science research. Applications for science coaches for the 2010 fair are now being accepted. Selections will be made prior to this year’s fair and announced at the fair. Assistance will begin in May. Please look on the website for the application. Below is how two of last year’s teachers viewed their participation in the program.

From Ava Simnitt: “I had a wonderful experience coaching my students for the Mastodon Art/Science Regional Fair. The students and I spent extra time preparing their projects. The students enjoyed and were excited about the one-on-one attention that they received. It was a very memorable experience for both the students and me.”

From Kelly Steinbrueck: “The Mastodon Art/Science Regional Science Fair has been a wonderful experience for myself and for my students. There are so many opportunities and scholarships available to students that most people are unaware of. I had my eyes opened to the true world of student research when one of my students won a trip to ISEF! To see all of the research that young students are doing is absolutely amazing!”
