Twin Cities Regional Science Fair
Feb 27-28th, 2004
The Twin Cities Regional Science Fair (TCRSF) exists solely for the
betterment of youth in the Twin Cities
area. Our mission is to provide opportunities for interaction with
mentors, discussion of project goals,
presentation of ideas, and project analysis for all youth in the Twin
Cities area. We strongly support
under-represented groups with financial assistance, mentor involvement,
and project guidance. We strive to
motivate, encourage, and support all efforts by a philosophy of, "Everyone
who tries is a winner."
Students who live in Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, and Dakota Counties
who are in grades 6-12 are invited to participate.
