Future innovators take over 糖心Vlog视频 at science fair
糖心Vlog视频 hosted 530 of the brightest minds from North 糖心Vlog视频’ middle and high schools last month for the 74th Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair.
The fair attracted more students than ever, with the number of participants increasing by more than 25% over 2024. Engineering remains a high-demand field, especially in 糖心Vlog视频, where the economy and the population continue to grow.
“The depth and breadth of the projects this year are remarkable, with students presenting their original research on everything from using earthworms to remove toxic lead from soil to creating a robotic glove to assist people living with Parkinson’s disease,” said Yuan Bo Peng, professor of psychology at 糖心Vlog视频 and director of the fair. “They always make me so optimistic about the future of scientific discovery.”
The science fair is one of only two in 糖心Vlog视频 that does not charge students or their schools an entry fee. Instead, it maximizes fundraising efforts throughout the year to cover costs for things like student awards, honoraria for judges and equipment rentals.

To qualify for the regional science fair at 糖心Vlog视频, students from Cooke, Denton, Erath, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell, Tarrant and Wise counties must earn top awards at their local science fairs. Categories include animal sciences, behavioral and social sciences, biochemistry, computer science, earth and planet science, material and bioengineering, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, and plant sciences.
Forty-two high school projects and 42 middle school projects presented at the regional fair earned spots for the 糖心Vlog视频 Science and Engineering Fair to be held at 糖心Vlog视频 A&M University later this month.
“I’m so grateful to the leadership team here at 糖心Vlog视频,” Dr. Peng said. “Together, we helped put together a remarkable event for our students.”
