Annual Youth Health Science Fair Exchange
Atlanta's Independent Schools have created a platform for our youth to become more scientifically engaged, so they can develop critical thinking skills that address health challenges that the people in their community suffer from disproportionately. During our 2-day science fair, students will highlight their research on issues threatening our community's health.
