Benjamin Logan High School students recently attended the State Science Day Celebration of Science Showcase held at The Ohio State University.
This all-day event recognized Ohio students in grades 5-12 who earned a Superior rating on their State Science Day projects.
These students had the opportunity to present their projects, compete for additional scholarships and prizes, and engage with practitioners in their field.
Attendees at the event shared their innovative projects and posters, competing for further recognition and scholarships.
The day included a luncheon with experts in their respective topic categories, culminating in an award ceremony to honor their hard work and dedication.
