Milwaukee Public School students spent months designing and conducting science experiments. Their findings were on display last week at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee.

More than 300 projects from 54 schools were presented during the 16th annual MPS STEM Fair. Student work included solving everyday engineering problems to answering tough scientific questions.
