Annual Andrew Warde High School Science Fair Made Headlines 49 Years Ago This Week

The annual Andrew Warde High School Science Fair made headlines 49 years ago this week. According to the Tuesday, March 27, 1962 edition of The Bridgeport Telegram, the two-day event was held Thursday and Friday, March 29 & 30, 1962.

The exhibit featured a radio telescope, a model of a solar system, a demonstration of a silk worm, fall out shelters, an atomic reactor, a Van de Grass generator, a rocket, and a micro wave transmission.

Winners were awarded a year's subscription to the Scientific American or a complete Science library. They also entered their exhibits in the Southern New England Science Fair at the University of Bridgeport.
