2002 California State Science Fair Pictures

This page is a work in progress. There are only a few more pictures which have yet to be added to this page, and more pictures which are on this page, but have yet to be annotated. If you can identify people in any photograph who are not named in the caption, please let us know with the link provided on that page, or send e-mail to CalifSF@usc.edu.

An index of all photographs and identified persons is being constructed. The index is available here, even though it is not yet completed. Also, for special purposes, higher resolution versions of the pictures listed below can be made available, but are not posted on this Web site.

The order of the photographs given below is intended to be chronological.
