science-o-rama!

science-o-rama! is a science fair, or science project display, organized by your school and held at a location, date and time that you determine.

science-o-rama! may be an existing science fair or display, or a new one that is beginning this year. It can be as small as one class, or involve the entire school.

To assist teachers in holding a science-o-rama!, The Synopsys Outreach Foundation will provide Science Project Support to teachers at schools in Hillsboro, OR and Marlborough, MA.
