Parents, educators and many others in the community showed their support for students who displayed their top projects during the St. Croix District 2017 Science, Technology, Engineering Art and Mathematics (STEAM) Fair held at the University of the Virgin Islands’ Great Hall, May 1 – 5.
An array of impressive, creative and intricate projects were displayed in grade-level specific categories, including Kindergarten, primary (grades 1-3), intermediate (grades 4-6), junior high (grades 7-8) and senior high (grades 9-12).
