2020 KSF – Best In Show

For the last 20 or so years the STEM division (Astronomy, Computer Systems, Robotics, Rocketry, and UAS) judges have had a tradition where while they judge they look for entries that are considered “Best In Show.” There are no defined rules that distinguish a rocket as “best in show,” it is entirely at the discretion of the judges. These best in show exhibits are not just purple award winning entries, but entries that exemplify the 4-H motto, “to make the best better.”

Normally these exhibits are placed in special case(s) at the Kansas State Fair (KSF) in Hutchinson. With the pandemic this year, that obviously didn’t happen. However exhibits were judged remotely and there were several that caught the judge’s eyes.

Since we are unable to put them special case we want to post them here so they get the recognition they have earned by being best in show at the Kansas State Fair this year. Additionally if you would like to see all of the Kansas State Fair results please visit the State Fair results page.

In no particular order the following are the 2020 Kansas State Fair STEM divisions best in show.
