The ACEC-CA Sierra Chapter again donated $1,500.00 and hosted a booth at the Annual Sacramento Regional Science & Engineering Fair that took place on Friday and Saturday, March 21st and 22nd at Rosemont High School in Sacramento.

This annual event includes emerging scientists and engineers from Sacramento, El Dorado, Placer, San Joaquin, Yolo, Yuba, Sutter, Solano, and Amador Counties. Many of these impressive young students are our future engineers, scientists, technology experts, and mathematicians.

This regional competition showcases achievement by middle and high school students, supported by devoted parents, teachers, sponsors, mentors, and members of the public. Top winners of the nearly 400 student participants advance to the California State Science Fair, and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

The Sierra Chapter Directors are pleased to be able to continue to lend our support to our regions youth. Director Kelly Birkes, with Rick Engineering Company, manned the ACEC both and fielded questions from these inquisitive emerging engineers and scientists.
