Greater St. Louis Science Fair
Honors Division Competition – February 26 – 27, 2010

The Honors Division consists of an educational competition involving collegiate level research studies completed by students in grades 9 – 12. Projects entered in the Honors Division can be done by one student or teams of 2 students. Each project must cover research done over a maximum of 12 continuous months between January 2009 and May of 2010.

The top students from the Honors Division will represent the Greater St. Louis Science Fair at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)(all expenses paid!). These students will have the opportunity to meet scientists, engineers, and mathematicians from all over the world. Projects for the Honors Division are judged locally by scientists from Monsanto, Pfizer and other local scientific and educational institutions.
