Apple Valley Elementary STEM Fair 2025
Dear Parents/Guardians:
It’s time for our annual Apple Valley Elementary STEM Fair! STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This exciting event encourages students to think and act like young scientists and engineers. During the next few weeks, your child has the opportunity to design and carry out a science experiment or engineering project that answers a specific question or solves a problem. We hope you agree that the educational benefits are numerous as students develop skills in writing, oral presentation, creative thinking, and problem solving. STEM Fair participation is encouraged for all grades, and is completely optional, with the opportunity for those who win in 5th grade to go on and present at the district level on February 20th, and beyond.
Please encourage your child to select a project that will match their interests and abilities. It should be something that they will enjoy and understand. Projects need to align with one of
the following categories: Chemistry; Computer Science; Earth & Environmental Science;
Engineering; Life Science; Physics, Astronomy, & Mathematics; and Product Testing & Consumer Science.
