It's science fair season! While not every student (or parent) gets excited about a science fair project, science fairs offer students almost unmatched learning and acceleration opportunities.

Science fair projects open the door to mentorships, even for elementary school students – because university professors love to support kids with original ideas. Science fairs can lead to scholarships, university admission – and even publication in scientific journals before completing high school.
