This science fair gives the students an opportunity to see how they can be successful in science and mathematics. Rooney said Mid-Missouri students have done well in the international competition for the last several years. About 14 of those students are expected to be invited to compete in the academy's annual meeting in Joplin in mid-April. Rooney said the regional science fair is a community event that combines the resources of several Mid-Missouri schools, businesses and organizations. However, several of the judges come from local industry and other universities.
Many local businesses contribute to the fair's support.
