White Star Chemical Company is partnering with Savannah Technical College to host a free, public high-school science fair focused on chemistry, materials science, environmental science, and related applied STEM fields. The event is designed as a community gathering, not just a closed competition.

High school students from Chatham, Effingham, Bryan, and Liberty counties are invited to enter individual or team projects. Teachers receive early outreach packets, offers of classroom visits from White Star chemists and process technicians, and simple starter kits for safe, low-cost experiments. Students gain experience presenting technical work, receive feedback from industry professionals, and learn about local career pathways, including lab technician, process operator, quality control, and environmental compliance roles.

Families are encouraged to attend. The Saturday fair includes family-friendly interactive stations such as safe chemistry demonstrations, water-quality testing activities, and “make your own indicator” stations. A resource table provides information on dual-enrollment and technical programs at Savannah Tech, along with light refreshments. Parents can speak directly with White Star employees about workplace safety culture, education requirements, and internship possibilities.

Community partners—including local high schools, Savannah Tech faculty, library systems, and occasional environmental or economic-development groups—help publicize the event and may provide additional judges or exhibit space. White Star is presenting the fair as part of its investment in the next generation of Coastal Georgia talent.
