This article explains how students use technology to create experiments in order to save space and resources that would be used in a traditional science fair. Although, I believe that students could create really great things with their virtual experiments, I do not believe an online science fair should replace the traditional type. There are a lot of benefits to incorporating technology into a classroom, but that cannot replace what students gain from doing hands-on experiments. Maybe a school could host both types of science fairs at different times of the year.

This article presents a way to overcome physical obstacles such as space and equipment when presenting a science fair with a large number of presenters. Since many students in middle school are technologically savvy, technological tools and techniques were employed to talk to mentors, to make a presentation and to actually perform the experiments that they presented at the science fair. Sample projects can be found through a reference and outcomes of this event are shared in this article. This is a very interesting and unique model. My only concern is to wonder if many teachers teaching today are as comfortable with the technology as their students are.
