Brooklyn Johnson, a senior at Sanborn Central, said that she decided to put together a science fair for her senior project because, “I wanted the kids to do something to have fun, and it gets everyone involved and can bring the community into it, too.” So, with help and guidance from her project mentor, Mrs. Kayla VanWinkle, she organized a science fair for all science students in grades six through 11. 

She stated that the students could work in groups of two to four, or they could do a project on their own. They got to pick their groups if that’s the route they took.
