Science Fair Participation by Public School Student In Minnesota

Abstract

This article is a major extract from a position paper addressed to the Executive Director, Governor's Task Force on Public Education Policy, State of Minnesota. The author shows a real and significant underrepresentation by public school students as compared with their private and parochial school counterparts, an impression previously voiced by the Twin Cities Chapter. Recommendations are made primarily with an eye to the Minnesota scene, but certain of them may be applicable to other areas of the country.
