Competing in a science fair is an experience of its own. I recently participated in a science fair called CSRSEF, which stands for the central sound regional science and engineering fair. It’s a regional fair that takes place in the western side of Washington each year before moving up to the state fair. It consists of coming up with a novel idea or an extension of past research to bring something new to the table in the science world. There are many different categories that you can compete in, 22 to be exact. I participated in the earth and environmental science category.
