**We need photos and stories from students for The Science Fair Experience - 2019!**

Our online publication, The Science Fair Experience, is looking for submissions from students, chaperones, and anyone else, especially of the science fair tours. Photos are especially desirable, but short textual accounts of under 200 words would be great, too. Please send your photos and/or stories to the Contact Us link below by March 31st, and indicate if you would like to be publicly credited for your photos or text. This document will be posted on the website by early April.
