Seagate sites worldwide focus on science to increase the engagement of young students in pursuing educational and career paths in STEM areas. Through science fair projects, robotics competitions, workshops and hands-on educational programs and activities, we are helping students engage in the wonders of the scientific process. Science Fairs & Competitions Science fairs are an excellent example of what education experts call active learning or inquiry (also "hands-on" learning). What makes a science fair project such a great learning experience is that it involves so much more than science. For example, if the student is in middle school, the research report will most likely be the longest paper the student has ever written. A science fair project will also have a longer duration than any other assignment a student has done. Savvy students, especially those who work their way up to higher levels of competition, also learn about communications and project management skills. Seagate is proud to be taking such an active role in supporting science fairs and competitions worldwide. Employees volunteer year-round to be mentors for students, assist with developing science fair ideas for students worldwide, and to act as judges at the fairs.
