Science Exploration Days
A Winner Since 1971
For many years, Central Western Section has presented a two-day event in May at which science students are exposed to relevant, interesting, and up-to-date science and technology topics. Area leaders representing industry, research, education, and professional organizations share their expertise with students in a seminar format or hands-on exhibits. Each day, about 30 seminars are offered to 700 students coming from middle and high schools throughout the six-county CWS membership area. Most of the speakers and exhibitors return each year because they wish to share the fascinating world of science with eager youngsters. They realize their participation makes this event a noteworthy one in our community.
Our success has not gone unnoticed by other STANYS sections. Several have developed their own one-day versions of the event. CWS is proud to have created an educational program that has inspired similar ones across the State.
St. John Fisher College has been host to SED since its inception. They provide many services, including security, exhibit set-up, and food services, as well as the buildings and grounds of their campus. A modest student registration fee pays for computerized scheduling and incidental committee expenses, but without the College administration's continued support, the program would not be possible.
The committee overseeing the organization of Science Exploration Days is composed of science teachers and community leaders committed to the continuing excellence of the program. Their efforts ensure your students will continue to have an annual science enrichment opportunity.
