Congratulations to Colleyville Heritage High School and Grapevine High School students who competed at the Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair Monday, February 23, at the University of Texas at Arlington and had nine projects advance to state competition. The Texas Science and Engineering Fair will take place March 27-28 at Texas A&M University in College Station.
Two of GCISD’s projects were named “Best of Fair,” a recognition for being among the top six projects of the entire competition and automatically advancing them to compete at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering (ISEF) Fair to be held May 9-15 in Phoenix, Arizona.
