On Feb.7 and 8, President Barack Obama hosted the second annual White House Science Fair to celebrate the student winners of a broad range of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions from across the country. The fair recognized over 100 students from more than 45 states, representing over 40 different competitions and organizations that work with students and inspire them to excel in STEM.
