The Quincy High School Science department hosted the annual QHS Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Fair on Tuesday, February 7. Over 100 projects were on display and evaluated by volunteer judges at the event. 

The event gives students the chance to interact with professionals from many different fields and careers and contributes to students' personal growth, both academically and socially.
