Science and Engineering Fair of Houston
Special Award

At the annual Science and Engineering Fair of Houston Mothers for Clean Air presents a Special Award for exceptional projects in the field of air quality. Part of our mission statement is to encourage the participation of children in learning about air quality, and it is in this spirit that we honor the work of students who have excelled in the study of air quality. The award winners are listed here as well as in the quarterly newsletter Clearing the Air and receive a one-year membership in Mothers for Clean Air.

Congratulations to these dedicated students!
