‘Grass-Roots’ Science Projects Earn Statewide Recognition

Brunswick Upper School students returned to Greenwich as award winners after the Connecticut Science and Engineering Fair, held Saturday, March 19, at Quinnipiac University in Hamden.

“These students worked so hard,” Science Department Chair Dana Montanez said. “They demonstrated incredible dedication and outside-the-box thinking in developing their concepts  — and the results of their hard work really shined at the fair.”
