NMNWSE Awards at the 2019 State Science Fair
We are inspired and impressed with the excellent science and engineering projects presented at the 2019 New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair, held April 6th at New Mexico Tech in Socorro by enthusiastic young ladies! NMNWSE members look forward each year to talking with aspiring scientists and engineers while judging the projects for special awards.
NMNWSE awarded 10 outstanding students with $50 gift cards plus a certificate and tote bag with career materials.
