.: 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.

.: Honors and Awards
