The Maine State Science Fair took place at Thomas College in Waterville on March 24th.  According to the Maine State Science Fair's website, the yearly event is open to all of Maine's students to exercise and expand their STEM education:

The Maine State Science Fair (MSSF) is an exciting opportunity for Maine high school students to pursue their interest in science and present results of their projects to fellow students.

Bangor High School's Noah Robinson and Tyler Delargy won the State's Science Fair competition and will be heading to the International Science & Engineering Fair held in Pittsburgh this week to compete with students worldwide.  The website also shares how many countries are involved and what kind of money is involved in this event:

Each year, approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for on average $4 million in prizes.
