Thank you for supporting The Science Expo!
Around 4,000 kids and adults enjoyed hands-on science at the 10th annual Einstein Project Science Expo presented by Schreiber Foods and Wisconsin Public Service. Kids enjoyed making ice cream and string cheese, launching paper rockets, creating energy by pedaling a bicycle, extracting DNA, and much more. The event held at Shopko Hall also featured the Ameriprise Science Fair. More than 90 students - the most ever - participated in the Science Fair. Top honors went to Adisha Kar and Hannah Basten for their project studying the correlation of the running speed, time in air, and time on vault with handspring performances and to Nick Petersen for his project on variable pitch propeller performance characteristics. All three students attend Red Smith Middle School in Green Bay.
