The new resources allowed us to provide meaningful awards for creativity, innovation, and scientific accuracy—recognizing not just the winners, but also students who showed perseverance and problem-solving skills. During the fair, one group proudly presented their \"Renewable Energy Water Pump\" prototype, while another showcased an experiment on biodegradable plastics. The awards gave every student a sense of accomplishment and pride in their hard work.\r\n\r\nWhen the awards arrived, the students' excitement was undeniable. Many had never received recognition for their academic achievements before, and their eyes lit up as they realized their efforts were valued and celebrated. This encouragement boosted their confidence, making them more eager to take on new STEM challenges. Some students even started brainstorming ideas for next year's fair right on the spot, determined to outdo their own work.\r\n\r\nNext, we are channeling this momentum into long-term STEM engagement. Students will be refining their projects for possible entry into regional competitions, and we are planning a \"Science Showcase Night\" for the community.
