Each year, the District School Board of Pasco County hosts the Pasco Science and Engineering Showcase. This science fair event is a deeply enriching experience for every student, regardless of prior experience. Through the scientific research process, students take ownership of their interests, explore pressing issues and problems that our world faces every day, and stretch their creativity in an attempt to design and implement powerful solutions. Several of these young men and women advance to state and national competitions and many ultimately pursue careers in specialized scientific and engineering fields. This year, with the help of generous community members such as yourself, we are looking to grow this amazing event.
It’s because of community partners like you
Over 77,000 Pasco County children and youth, grades pre-K – 12, get inspired through science, math and engineering, and in the process to think critically and solve problems that will benefit all of us for years to come.
Even more youth have a chance to rise. Last year’s fair featured 54% female students, 34% minority students and 39% students from low-income neighborhoods.
More than $5,000 in awards and prizes will be awarded to students.
This year's Science and Engineering Showcase will take place virtually on January 30, 2021. As always, the showcase is planned and staffed by volunteers and some but not all of the administrative costs are supported through district funding. Therefore, community assistance is still needed to help with providing scholarships, cash prizes and gifts of merchandise as well as judging services for the fair participants. We would like to invite you to support the event through either a donation or a pledge of time as a judge. The showcase is sponsored by Pasco County Schools and the Pasco Education Foundation, which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), so your donation is tax-deductible. This event, with your help, supports the development of the future STEAM workforce by inspiring students to pursue independent research and helping them develop critical 21st-Century skillsets. Your contribution will help to enhance this experience for all of our students, and make the Pasco Science and Engineering Showcase a truly memorable event for everyone involved.
