Williston, ND Hosts the North West Regional Science Fair on January 29

Science fairs are like the Super Bowl of curiosity, creativity, and experimentation! They’re where ideas spark, hypotheses bloom, and young scientists get to showcase their hard work to the world. From vinegar volcanoes to innovative inventions, science fairs have a way of making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) approachable, exciting, and downright fun. And this month, Williston is gearing up for a fantastic event.

The North West Regional Science Fair is Back!

Mark your calendars for January 29th, when the North West Regional Science Fair will take over Williston State College. This annual celebration of student ingenuity brings together budding scientists from Williston and the surrounding area to present their projects and compete for top honors. It’s an inspiring day filled with innovation, creativity, and maybe even a robot or two. But here’s the thing — the fair can’t happen without a little help.
