The 60th Annual Santa Barbara Science Fair: Winners in 2015

A goal of the Santa Barbara Science Fair is to stimulate students to take an active interest in the study of engineering and science by initiating and completing projects of their own choosing. The SEC and its members fully support this event, and we are pleased to recognize the Science Fair winners and their mentors.
