STEM Awards Given at Area Science and Engineering Fair

The annual Northeast Florida Regional Science and Engineering Fair (NEFRSEF) was held in February at the Morocco Shrine Center in Jacksonville, Florida. This event encourages high school scientists and engineers in the area to showcase their innovative ideas with regard to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). As an avid advocate for STEM initiatives, this event is one that is near and dear to the heart of the chapter. Chapter members have been actively involved as guest judges and sponsors to NEFRSEF for several years. Each year the young minds of Northeast Florida continue to amaze the judges and 2016 was no exception. The competition was tough. At the end, the chapter was happy to award over $2,500 in cash winnings to first, second and third place winners as well as five honorable mentions. An award was also presented to the NEFRSEF team to enable them to continue their efforts in support of STEM in Northeast Florida. Winners will go on to state and national competitions.
