EDINBURG — Edinburg CISD recently announced the winners of its annual science fair contest, which attracted hundreds of competitors from approximately 40 elementary and middle schools.
More than 200 students received trophies for their science projects during an awards ceremony, which the Edinburg CISD science department hosted at the Edinburg Activity Center.
“We want our students to start thinking about careers in science that can be utilized in so many different fields,” ECISD Superintendent René Gutiérrez said.
Dozens of science projects were on display, including experiments in chemistry, engineering, microbiology and physics.
“We are so excited that we had so many great projects submitted. The students did a great job,” said ECISD Secondary Science Specialist Vanessa Arrona-Ramos. “We had categories ranging from animal sciences to biochemistry to mathematical sciences.
