More than 1,000 students from more than 100 schools across western Pennsylvania and Maryland competed for $1 million in cash prizes and scholarships this year at the Carnegie Science Center’s Covestro Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair, which took place on March 29, at Heinz Field. The Covestro Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair, a program of Carnegie Science Center’s Duquesne Light Center for STEM Education and Career Development, has been a Pittsburgh tradition since 1940. It is the third oldest science fair in the United States under the affiliation of the Society for Science and the Public.
