Students with hearing loss in grades six through 12 can compete in

Students can compete individually or as a two- or three-person team
and should submit their most interesting and challenging science
project.
To qualify, students must submit an entry form and a 250-word science
project summary. Judges will choose finalists in both middle school
and high school divisions who will be invited to attend the Science
Fair, March 20 – 22, 2009, at RIT’s National Technical Institute
for the Deaf in Rochester, N.Y., to display their project and compete
for first, second or third place in each division.
More than 50 contestants from 14 schools in 10 states showed their
exhibits during the 2008 competition. Top winning subjects included
“First and Second Hand Smoke,” “Does the Insulation Really
Work?” and “How Chemicals Contaminate Our Watersheds.”
