The finalists were determined by a Peer Review process, and as CyberFair International Competition participants, Glendover students evaluated and submitted reviews on six other project entries. Platinum, Gold and Silver place winners will be announced during a live Awards Event that will be held via the Internet on May 18, 2000. Now in its fifth year, The International Competition has been described as the largest event of its kind ever held on the Internet. This program has brought together more than 500,000 students from over 70 countries. The International Competition encourages schools around the world to share the knowledge and skills teachers and students have gained by researching specific aspects of their community.
Schools develop collaborative projects using the Internet for communication.
Glendover students realized Lexington is a rapidly growing community. The many changes started discussion about whether development should continue or if protecting our land in Lexington is more important. Ms. Meadows' class decided they wanted to take a closer look at their community and its needs. Students contacted people in the community through phone calls, in person, letter writing and e-mail. All of the people surveyed were interested to hear about the children's experiments and research that would be conducted.
