UO INQUIRY FAIR: A PARTY FOR THE MIND
2016 Exploring the Science of Play

“ Nothing exists in a vacuum in the real world or in a school. It only makes sense when we try to approach problems from multiple perspectives.
” It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning unexpected findings of science.”
— CARL SAGAN
