One Darien High School student received first honors and multiple awards for his science project at the recent Connecticut Science and Engineering Fair; another four Darien students received second honors, and eight more students received third honors. Altogether, the high school sent 11 projects to the Connecticut Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF) at Quinnipiac University, where a total of 460 research projects were entered from around the state. Many students at CSEF are winners at regional science fairs. (Darien students were partners for two of the projects — that’s how 11 projects by 13 students were entered.)
CSEF is a qualifying fair for the International Science and Engineer Fair. The Connecticut fair sends seven students to participate in the international fair. These DHS students won prizes for their projects:
