Science Competition
March 12, 2011 - Middle and High School Students
The Science Challenge, which is intended to encourage excellence in science education, provides an intermediate event between the County Science Fairs and the State Science Fair. It operates under the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) rules. The participants are the first place winners in the physical science competitions in county Science Fairs in the six surrounding counties (Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Volusia).
In January, Fair Directors will be sent invitation packets that they can present to the category winners at their respective award ceremonies. The packets will include the necessary paperwork for the students to enter the Orlando Science Center Science Challenge.
A special thank you to our sponsors who make this event possible.
Best in Fair – Physical Science Award
This is the fourth year for the Science Center Sponsored Award of "Best in Fair - Physical Sciences” in the Science and Engineering Fairs of the eight surrounding counties (Brevard, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole and Volusia). The categories included are: Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth & Planetary Science, Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics and Astronomy.
This award for both juniors and seniors (two awards) is an annual family membership to the Science Center. It is the best Junior and Senior project in the Orlando Science Center Science Challenge categories, to be judged by each Fair's judges under normal ISEF rules and criteria. The award is to be given out at the awards ceremony by each Fair Director. We will send you a packet to hand out, which the winner’s can then redeem at the Orlando Science Center for the annual family membership. The membership will run one year from the time of redeeming it. Each Fair Director is responsible for judging and presentation of awards. Normally, no one from the Science Center will judge or attend the award ceremony – only attribution to the Science Center is desired.

Science Challenge
Central Florida’s brightest scientific minds converged on the Orlando Science Center on March 13th to unveil their mind-blowing projects. More than 120 middle and high school science fair champions from eight counties competed in the 12th Annual OSC Science Challenge. Lockheed Martin and R.E.A.L.M sponsored the event, and joined Orlando Science Center to “Inspire Science Learning for Life.”
