Benjamin Logan students honored for achievements on State Science Day – Peak of Ohio

Posted on by Vaseline

Benjamin Logan High School students recently attended the State Science Day Celebration of Science Showcase held at The Ohio State University.

The all-day event recognized Ohio students in grades 5 through 12 who earned a Superior rating on their State Science Day projects.

These students had the opportunity to present their projects, compete for additional grants and prizes, and connect with practitioners in their field.

Event participants shared their innovative projects and posters and competed for further recognition and grants.

The day included a lunch with experts in their respective subject categories, culminating in an awards ceremony to honor their hard work and dedication.
