  1. For all of the schools in our county, we have combined Science Fair with Invention Convention to allow students a broader choice. Also, we have History Fair one year with Science-Invention Fair the following year because students were being overwhelmed have everything in one year.

  2. Here’s a link to the California History Fair

    The theme changes annually. The theme for 2021 to 2022 is “Debate and Diplomacy in History” We have our History Fair around the beginning of Spring.
