Once again Nevada County will be well represented at the California State Science Fair Competition coming up in less than two weeks. Jeff Petty who will be chaperoning the students down to Los Angeles for the event says the California State Science Center is next to USC. He says they have jets hanging from the ceiling and the students are actually exhibiting under the space shuttle.

Ellie Wood, an 8th Grader at Mount St. Mary’s Academy chose for her project: “A Cure for the Common Flood”
There’s one project from three Bear river High School Students .
Petty has an idea how they came up with their project.
Petty says it costs about $1,200 per student to attend the Science Fair, but he says prizes for winning can be upwards of $5,000 for projects at the High School level. It’s less for the middle school grades.
