  • January 11, 2018 - Science Fair at Our Lady of Fatima -  we will have judging by outside sources. If you know anyone who would be interested please let me know. Judges do not need to have science backgrounds, they only need to be inquisitive. Students qualify for PRSEF by scoring an average of 90% for 6th grade, while the top 20 from grades 7 & 8 will represent Our Lady of Fatima.

  • January 18, 2018 - Student Registration for PRSEF

  • March 23, 2018- Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair at Pittsburgh Science Center and Heinz Field.

The following due dates are for the 2013-14 Our Lady of Fatima Science Fair. As you may notice they are much earlier than in past years. This is because the registration for Pittsburgh Regional Science and Engineering Fair date is now in early January. All students will recieve registration packets for PRSEF  to make completing the paper work easier. We will complete most of the forms in class and send them home for parent signatures. I strongly discourage the use of animals and any chemicals that would be considered hazardous because they need approval of veterinians or qualified scientist. Before choosing a project you may want to check with me or  view the PRSEF website at www.scitechfestival.org to ensure that students do not need special signatures.

Students will receive a packet that has all important information and due dates.
