The School District of Lancaster (SDoL) is excited to announce the 2nd Annual Environmental STEM Fair in partnership with Mayor Sorace and the City of Lancaster, an event designed to inspire students to tackle real-world environmental issues facing Lancaster City. This year’s theme centers on critical challenges like PFAs, air quality, and lead poisoning from consumer products, providing students the opportunity to create innovative solutions for their community.
Students are encouraged to think big, research thoroughly, and present bold ideas. The STEM Fair offers a platform to explore science, technology, engineering, and math while addressing problems that affect the lives of Lancaster residents. From designing water filtration systems to proposing methods for improving air quality, participants will develop practical solutions for pressing issues.
“Our students are at the heart of community’s future and they have the potential to lead the way in solving some of Lancaster City’s most pressing environmental issues. The STEM Fair is a platform for them to explore environmental issues that impact their lives and our community. Through this process, they will develop practical solutions, gain valuable skills, and show us just how innovative they can be. We can’t wait to see their ideas come to life!” says Jennifer Cleary, Assistant Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment (STEM).
