SPECIAL AWARDS
Many students enter the Carver Science Fair to win first place, second
place, third place, or honorable mention recognition. Others enter because
they enjoy science and the opportunity to share their interests and
expertise. Students also look forward to competing for the Carver Special
Awards!
Since the Carver Fair began in 1979, individuals and organizations have
honored student achievement through Special Awards. This year's Special
Award presenters include the Environmental Protection Agency, the United
States Navy, The School District of Philadelphia, Temple University, Cobbs
Creek Community Environmental Education Center, The Philadelphia Area Space
Alliance, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Bartram's Garden, Delaware Valley
Mensa, MedImmune, Health Partners, The Women's Humane Society, and Clara
Tolbert. Their awards range from $25 gift cards to medals, saving bonds,
paid internships, microscopes, and college scholarships. These awards
recognize skills such as investigating environmental problems, demonstrating
excellence in botany, treating experimental animals humanely, excelling in
math and science, and exploring human intelligence.
