THE SECOND ANNUAL NEWCOMB ACADEMY
SCIENCE FAIR & ART SHARE
THE SECOND ANNUAL NEWCOMB ACADEMY
SCIENCE FAIR & ART SHARE
Last year PTSA hosted the first science fair at Newcomb in many years, thanks to a small army of incredible staff, teacher, and parent volunteers. We're thrilled to host this Science Fair & Art Share event again in 2026, combining a traditional science fair with an art exhibition showcasing Spartan scholars of all interests!
The Science Fair & Art Share event, where projects will be displayed, is on March 14 in the Newcomb gymnasium and quad.
This page details the science fair portion of the event. Information on the Art Share will be released in early 2026.

HOW IT WORKS

With your encouragement, they’ll develop a project to present to parent volunteers during school hours, with all projects proudly displayed at the Science Fair & Art Share event.
