The San Joaquin County Office of Education (SJCOE) announced the winners of the 66th annual San Joaquin County STEAM Fair during the February awards ceremonies following student interviews. Judges selected winners after reviewing individual, group, and whole-class projects. This year, more than 600 students from 38 schools participated in the fair.
All participants had the opportunity to present their projects to volunteer judges, including over 60 STEM professionals, teachers, college students, high school students, and other community volunteers.
We are incredibly proud of our MHHS winners for their outstanding achievements. Their hard work, dedication, and innovation deserve to be celebrated. Congratulations on this well-earned success!
