The 2009 Eighth Grade State Science Meet will be held June 11- 13, in Omaha. It will be the 17th year of the event sponsored by UNMC.
The state meet is designed to introduce students to careers in health care or science. During the state meet, students stay at the UNO Scott Residence Hall. Hands-on activities take place at the Peter Kiewit Institute of Information Science, Technology and Engineering, and at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The students also visit Mahoney State Park for fun and relaxation.
On Saturday morning, the event concludes with teams competing in the "Quiz Bowl", followed by a slide show of pictures taken during the meet, and a certificate ceremony.
