The George Washington Carver Science Fair is one of the oldest and largest urban science fairs in the United States. Each year, 4th-12th grade Philadelphia public, Parochial, charter, private, and home-school students, compete for certificates, medals, and special awards. The Carver Fair emphasizes science content as well as teamwork, problem-solving, resiliency, patience, and perseverance.
