MVCTC Students Compete in Virtual State Science Day
Eighty students from seventeen local schools recently competed successfully in the 2022 Online “Virtually Judged” Ohio Academy of Science State Science Day held in May of this year. After seventy-one years of live State Science Day competitions, the last three years required State Science Day to be held as an online platform due to the COVID-19 restrictions on large events. Over 600 students from across the state participated in the competition where a total of almost one-half million dollars was distributed as scholarships and awards. Students presented independent research projects in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. All of the local students did exceptionally well with forty of them receiving superior scores.
