From The College of Saint Rose website:
The Joseph Henry Science Fair is the annual Albany City Science Fair, hosted by the College of Saint Rose, where students come from their school science fairs and compete against other local Albany schools.
The Joseph Henry Science Fair is open to students in grades 4-8 in the city of Albany. Schools conduct their own competitions and send their winners to the Joseph Henry Science Fair, making it the biggest science competition for Albany’s elementary and middle school students. The goal is to promote inquiry-based science research among students in the 10-14 year age group. The competition stimulates the creation of hundreds of projects each year, as individual schools determine which of their students will go on to the citywide science fair.
