Congratulations to the winners of the James H. Beusse Memorial Patent Award presented by Beusse Sanks at the 68th Annual Florida State Science and Engineering Fair! Terry Sanks was pleased to judge the 68th Annual State Science and Engineering Fair of Florida, where two students were recognized for their projects as winners of the Junior and Senior Sections of the James H. Beusse Memorial Patent Award.
The 68th Annual Florida State Science and Engineering Fair was held at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland from April 4-6, 2023. As part of its long-standing commitment to stimulating students, teachers, and the public’s interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the Florida Foundation for Future Scientists (FFFS) hosts the fair each year.
