Future scientists shine at Joplin Public Library's science fair
JOPLIN, Mo. — Future scientists put their skills on display. Several local homeschool groups came together this afternoon for an annual science fair at the Joplin Public Library. The kids picked the topics, did research and today showed what they had learned. The idea is to help encourage excitement for science while giving the students a chance to have the same experience kids in public schools have. Today's topics ranged from rockets to bugs and even a future forecaster. 'Because I want to be a meteorologist when I grow up, and I want to do stuff like tornadoes, yeah, I like tornadoes,' Mckenna Cox, Homeschool Student. 'This is giving them that experience, but in all different age levels, versus just one grade level,' said Amanda Rogers, Homeschool Parent. Today's science fair brought more than two dozen students to the Joplin Public Library coming from Miami, Neosho, Carthage and, of course, Joplin. They ranged in age from kindergarten to high school seniors. This fall many of these same students will participate in History Day through the homeschool club. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
