2021 Science Odyssey

  • Our annual Science Odyssey will be done virtually this year and will remain an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their love of science and engineering to our community. We will be using the online platform zFairs for project submissions and viewing. Elementary projects will be showcased, and middle and high school projects will be showcased and judged by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Sandia National Laboratory, and our TOPS program. 

    Middle and high school students that wish to participate in the Alameda County Science & Engineering Fair (ACSEF) will have an opportunity to receive feedback on their projects prior to the ACSEF. ACSEF will be hosted through zFairs as well therefore students participating at the County level will be familiar with the platform used and will be able to submit their projects easily.
