Faculty from the Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation (ABEC) and Anthrozoology departments, along with their spouses, served as judges in the Terra Western New York STEM Fair held at D’Youville University on Saturday, March 16.
The science fair provides middle and high school students the opportunity to engage in authentic scientific research or engineering practice and to share their experiences and findings with the public. Focus is also on incentivizing the underserved and under-represented, including women in STEM.
A variety of projects relating to diverse disciplines such as biomedical health, animal studies, environmental engineering, and chemistry, were evaluated by the judges to nominate the students for awards in recognition of their work and for future presentations of their projects.
