The coordinator is LaVon Jerome of Turtle Mountain Elementary Schools, and the facilitator is Annette Mennem, director of the MSU Native American Center.

“This is the 40th year of the Native American State Science and Engineering Fair,” Jerome added. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students from across the state to get together and compete in an academic event. This year, there are 10 schools and 147 projects registered for the competition. This is the third year that Minot State University has hosted the competition for us. We think this is a great opportunity for students to see what a university campus looks like and a great way for university students to give back to the youth of our great state. We are looking forward to another successful year!”
