SUMMARY: Missouri students advocating for a statewide science fair showcase innovative STEM projects focused on real-world problems. A dozen students presented research, such as testing saltwater contamination using bacteria, to lawmakers at the Missouri Capitol. These young scientists work on projects with significant impact, sometimes surpassing college-level research. They expressed a strong desire for a statewide fair to gain recognition and inspire interest in STEM fields, which currently lacks official support despite evident talent and hard work. Teachers estimate the cost of organizing such a fair. The event would foster authentic research and career development for Missouri’s youth.

A group of students showed off their year-long research projects in the Missouri rotunda this week, but they said they would rather be showing off their efforts at the Missouri Science Fair.
