My name is Marilou Edwards and this is my 36th year of teaching, 26 years of which I have been at Lincoln High School. I started the science expo 22 years ago, the first expo was in 2006 and I just had 10 booths and I invited my good friend Karen Newman’s 3rd grade class. It has grown tremendously over the past 21 years. The reason why this expo grows and gets better every year is because of the students who help run this event. One of my goals of teaching has been to empower students. I am proud of our students and their leadership ability. These students practically run the expo themselves. My goal as an educator is not just to teach but to inspire students to be future leaders and active members of our community. They NEVER disappoint me and I am so honored to be part of THEIR Science EXPO. Go Zebras !!!
