On Friday, February 24^th STEMIA Jr. High hosted it’s third annual Science Fair. Students have been working on either an experimental, innovation, or study project since September. The audience, including teachers, judges, and students were thoroughly impressed with the dedication shown in all projects. Project topics ranged from genetics and medicine to traffic mitigation, to sleep patterns and code breaking! We are so proud of all our students. The following students and projects will advance and represent STEMIA at the Calgary Youth Science Fair in April.
