THE CSTA MARTY TAFEL STUDENT RESEARCH AWARD

The Connecticut Science Teachers Association (CSTA) has approved two new awards for presentation at the 2003 Connecticut Science Fair. The "Connecticut Science Teachers Association's Marty Tafel Student Research Awards" will be given annually to the top individual winners of the fair's eighth grade life and physical science category (one award in category).

The award is $500 cash and is contingent on the winner submitting an article on their research project to the Connecticut Journal of Science Education. The awards will be presented by Ms. Pat Ruane, CSTA President, at the 2003 finalist awards ceremonies on Thursday afternoon, March 13.

CSF is delighted to be working with the CSTA in administering this award which is a memorial to one of Connecticut's legendary middle school science teachers.
