5th Annual Tri-County Regional
Science Fair
Students from all over the
tri-counties gathered at NSCC Burridge Campus on Thursday, March 22, to showcase
their scientific prowess at the 5th Annual Tri-County Regional Science Fair.
With such project names as "Bionic Ear", "The Solar Powered Oven", and "How to
Cover up a Murder", there was no shortness of intrigue among the judges, event
organizers, members of the public, and fellow students.
As the author
of this article can tell you first hand, judging the projects was not an easy
task. The creativity & passion shown by all of the young scientists was
nothing short of amazing. The top three overall winners will go on to
compete at the Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) which will be held in May 2007 in
Truro, Nova Scotia.
Aside from the competition
itself, there were a number of other activities for the students & adults to
participate in. Students were treated to interactive tours of Burridge
Campus and the adults had the opportunity to view PowerPoint presentations from
last year's CWSF. The Tri-County Regional School Board would like to thank
Ernie Parkes, College Prep Coordinator, and the staff at Burridge Campus for
their hospitality and assistance.
The
Tri-County Regional School Board
would like to thank all of the students, event organizers, TCRSB
staff, NSCC staff, chaperones, teachers, judges, and anyone else who volunteered
their time to make this event possible.
Special thanks goes to Trevor Cunningham,
Science Fair Chief Judge, and his assistant, Shauna Murphy for organizing the
event. Best of luck to those who advanced to the CWSF and we hope to see
all of the participants competing again next year.
