My Experience at the Science Fair
I have always loved science fairs. Most people groan and complain about the long research and experiments, but I always look forward to them. With most of my experiments, I already knew what would result, but I was always thrilled when the experiment worked. Even when they went wrong, it was fun trying to figure out where I went wrong. All in all, I think I must be a science person.
We just had an amazing science fair down at the Ministry of Innovation. It was really fun; 1st and 2nd-year students worked really hard on their projects. Ours was creating an education platform, LightLabs, that includes technological programming courses.
The challenging part of the science fair was choosing a topic. Another difficult thing was finding all the research for my board. The night before I was nervous about how might not get my science fair project done but after a while of work me and my friend finished the project I was so tired but excited that my project was done. I and my friend went over what I was going to say to the teachers, I explained my research and answered my teacher's questions. It was fun and gave me real experience with public speaking. By watching other groups' performances, I learned a lot and even though we were rivals, in fact, we exchanged our ideas. I hope I can do another project like that one again soon.
All these science fairs have had an impact on my life. If I had not done that first project in the contest, I would not have realized how much I enjoy doing research projects and experiments. Also, by doing these yearly projects, I gained valuable experience in using the scientific method.
Finally, I have realized how much I love science and technology, the field I would like to enter as a career.
