Attention: There will not be a Montgomery County Science Fair in 2012. Dr. Sullivan is no longer director and I am no longer associated with this event. It has been replaced by "The Great STEM Challenge Exposition". More details can be found at http://www.apsu.edu/stem/great-stem-challenge-exposition-0.

The information below is for archival purposes only. I appreciate all the teachers, parents, and students who participated since 1993. Ron Robertson - founder of the Montgomery County Science Fair

2011 Fair Information

Welcome! The Montgomery County Science Fair was a K-5 fair. The director at Austin Peay for the K-5 fair was Dr. Lisa Sullivan in the chemistry department. Grade 6-12 projects were entered in the Middle TN Science and Engineering Fair (MTSEF). Ron Robertson is still the director of the MTSEF (the 6-12 fair).

Thanks to all those who participated in the 2011 fair.
