There are few episodes in the school year when the streams of real-world learning and ‘school-world’ learning come together; the Southeast Alaska Regional Science Fair, to be held March 9, is one of those. This year is the 20th Anniversary of the fair and will be the largest ever held in Juneau, with more than 200 expected student participants. In addition to those from three of Juneau’s high schools, we have had applications from students in Sitka, Skagway, Angoon, Petersburg, and this year for the first time, Whale Pass.
