The White House Science Fair is Today!

White House Science FairPresident Obama is hosting his final White House Science Fair today, April 13, 2016. Roughly 40 student teams from around the country will be sharing their research, inventions and award-winning robots and rockets. These young people are truly impressive. Read up on them here. You can tune in to watch the Science Fair live from 1:00 – 3:00 PM ET.

The White House Science Fair is a great new tradition. It’s one that I wish I could say I know will continue with the next administration. Let’s hope our country continues to highlight young people who inspired innovation and excellence in all of us.

If you’re looking for inspire a bit of science exploration in your home, library or school, check out the ideas in the White House Science Fair Toolkit and, of course, The Maker Mom archives.

Seriously, the White House Science Fair is always a good time. Stop listening to Hamilton covers and go watch it live. Chime in with your thoughts on social media with #WHScienceFair.

Next up: June 17-23, 2016 is the National Week of Making. The National Maker Fair will be held on June 18-19. Do you have something cool brewing, know a Maker worthy of national recognition, have a Maker commitment to share, or a fantastic idea to support smarter cities (or maybe a blogger who you’d like to cover the Fair)? Share it here.
