The logo was refreshed in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Fair, but retains its original whimsical representation of the depth and breadth of the research that is conducted by our students. Whether exploring the basic elements of life or building better rockets, our students’ curiosity about the world around them is reflected in this logo and in all the work presented here tonight.

WELCOME Dear Friends, Trial and error: it’s a three-word phrase that describes, in simplest form, the much-revered scientific method. It’s a process to which we rightfully attribute so many human accomplishments and in which the young scientists whose work is featured here have been immersed for some months now. It also happens to be, I think, an appropriate moniker for the 33rd annual Science and Engineering Fair, if not for this entire past year! Plans for our annual Science and Engineering Fair were turned upside down with the ongoing effects of the pandemic. Thanks to our experience last spring with a state science fair gone virtual, we were able to pivot quickly—something that’s become all-too familiar at school these days—and create a virtual fair. Although judging is being conducted online this year (meaning no elegantly designed poster boards for all to admire), the time-honored process of conducting thoughtful research remained the same. Our students have worked tirelessly all fall and early winter at home and in the lab engrossed in the scientific method: asking questions, designing experiments, testing hypotheses, generating data, and analyzing results. On February 18th our students will sit before their computers and their judges, via our online fair platform, to share their projects and their knowledge. It is the culmination of all their hard work— their Super Bowl. Pandemic style. While I won’t be able to welcome you to our awards ceremony and thank in person the hundreds of sponsors, friends, faculty, family members, and most notably, practicing scientists, who make this annual event possible, I know that we will all be standing together virtually, cheering on the efforts of our remarkable and dedicated students. Kudos, students, for bringing your A-game to the Fair this unusual year, for your many valuable trials and for your equally valuable errors. And thank you, friends, for your ongoing support of our students and our school: I look forward to welcoming you back to campus soon. Sincerely,
Matthew Green Head of School
