Hope Elementary School Science Fair

The Hope Elementary School Science fair, is an annual event that brings many well produced exhibits from the area's impressive list of contributors. In 2006, NEES@UCSB was joined by the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, along with its Ty Warner Sea Center, and several University of California at Santa Barbara departments.

The event was open to the public and hundreds of mostly grade school children went from exhibit to exhibit, holding sea urchins, touching fossils and gazing through telescopes. The NEES@UCSB exhibit let children look at a working seismometer in a "see through" plexiglass case. They could type their name into a computer, jump or pound the floor and then take home a printed siesmogram with their name on it.
