.: What
is It?

LASER
(Learning About Science And Engineering Research)
otherwise known as the Science Fair Organization.
This organization promotes research and experimentation
in the sciences and engineering at the high
school level. LASER provides opportunities
for students to become familiar with science
and science related programs offered at the
top universities in the nation. We recognize
the significance of research in human affairs
and the importance of humane and ethical principals
in the application of research results. We
have a talented group of youth who participate
in many science events as well as other social
events throughout the year. We also are involved
with students in the elementary and middle
schools. Our goal is to spark an interest
in science that will carry over into career
choices of the future.
Fees
and Requirements: All LASER members must pay
annual dues of $15/ year and MUST participate
in science fair events.
