My EQ is "What is the best way to help a foster child find a permanent home?' The connection between my EQ and my science fair project is that many adoptive parents want children who have an education or want an education because they feel that children who want to study are good kids. Many adoptive parents want to help out children with their education and will be proud of helping out a foster child out with their future its a good way to make a child feel comfortable with their new family and they will also feel proud to have somebody who cares for their education.
