Each year, the Fair features the best young Utah scientists in grades 5 to 12. Students present their experiments and compete for a chance to represent Utah at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.societyforscience.org\/\">Intel International Science &#038; Engineering Fair<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Local companies, including XMission, support the Fair by volunteering, donating needed funds, providing door prizes, and offering scholarships and grants. Last year, five Grand Award-winning seniors received $80,000 scholarships from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.westminstercollege.edu\/\">Westminster College<\/a>. Each year, our own Pete Ashdown judges the Fair and awards students the XMission Technology Award (including a fancy Newton&#8217;s Cradle) for best use of technology and the Internet. <\/p>\n<p>Students who want to take their discoveries online may be interested in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/events\/sciencefair\/index.html \">Google Global Science Fair<\/a>. Google accepts entries from any full-time students, ages 13 to 18. Students can submit entries starting from now until April 4. Prizes include National Geographic Expeditions and Google scholarships. <\/p>\n<p>Your kids&#8217; scary experiments in the fridge could pay off big! Good luck to all of the young scientists out there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s science fair season in Utah schools and XMission is again sponsoring the Salt Lake Valley Science &#038; Engineering Fair on March 22-25 at the University of Utah.
