We had 33 students and 25 projects compete in our annual Science Fair! This year it took place in the HIVE. As always, judges, teachers, and students were impressed with the quality of our students projects. Students have been working hard on their projects since September. Well done to all participants and good luck to those advancing to the Calgary Youth Science Fair in April!
