Episcopal’s science fair was held the third week in January. The projects were displayed on the Kirwan Flag Plaza on the Munnerlyn Campus after school, where judges interviewed the students. Four members of the judging team were Episcopal alumni — Tess Peterson ‘ 08, Peter Blumeyer ’08, Jason Marks ’08, and Isaiah Nields ’17. Judges were impressed with the students creativity, presentation skills and scientific reasoning. All of the students listed below will present their projects at the Regional Science Fair — a four day hybrid event February 20-23.
