  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.

  3. Here’s a link to the California History Fair
    https://www.nhdca.org/
    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.
