We are excited to announce that our annual Science Odyssey will take place in person this year at Junction TK-8 School! Mark your calendars for March 8 & 9, 2023! This will be an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their love of science and engineering to our community.
Students in grades 6 - 12 are invited to also participate in the Alameda County Science and Engineering Fair, to be held March 24-26, 2023 at Ohlone College Newark Center for Health and Sciences and Technology in Newark, CA.The LVJUSD Science Odyssey is an annual science and engineering event for the whole family. Our LVJUSD students proudly display their experiments to the public. Judges evaluate the content on the display boards and interview the students about the experimental process and what the students learned throughout the process. The Science Odyssey is also a great opportunity for community members to volunteer and share their expertise as judges.
