Sick children confined to hospitals miss not only the experience of classroom teaching, but grade school traditions like the science fair.<\/p>\n
So, on Thursday, the science fair came to them \u2014 thanks to the help of UCF faculty and students \u2014 in the form of the first-ever STEM Day at Nemours Children\u2019s Hospital in Orlando. Poster boards detailing projects as varied as fish prosthetics and bouncing marbles were on display in the hospital\u2019s lobby, each awaiting the arrival of a special panel of guest judges.<\/p>\n
