On March 15, many of Godwin’s SMT Center students traveled to Clover Hill High School to participate in the Metro Richmond STEM Fair (MRSF). Some of the students who went to MRSF placed high enough to move on to the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair (VSSEF) on March 28 at Virginia Military Institute and three Godwin students placed high enough to earn a ticket to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) held May 10-15 in Pittsburgh.
“Effectively, we (Godwin and its Specialty Center) are the 2015 State Science Champions,” said SMT Center director Todd Phillips.
