Today in 6th grade Science, we hosted a screening of the new National Geographic Documentary, Science Fair, What's the Big Idea? When you get the opportunity to see this movie, prepare to be inspired. Our future is brighter when our young students are science-inspired. #ScienceFair
Hailed by critics as “immensely likeable,” “brilliant and quirky” and an “ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends,” SCIENCE FAIR follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at The International Science and Engineering Fair.
Thank you to National Geographic for helping us to inspire our science students by providing free, early release of this movie to science teachers.
