Mason student scientists to present projects at UC Science Fair

Fifty-five Mason City Schools students will present their projects during the 13th Annual UC Science and Engineering Expo on March 11. Students from school districts across southwest Ohio will present at this event for scholarships and other awards. Mason Middle School and Mason High School students who earned a superior rating at the Jan. 26 Mason Science Fair are eligible to attend the UC fair.

One team project received a perfect score of 50, which included Yuv Sachdeva and Amey Haridhas.
