Hannah Dua, Thomas Bemment, Angus Duguid and Luke MacKenzie, Willem Young, Gabriel Santiago, Devin McGregor, Tobin Sparling, Natalie Sokol-Snyder and Allegra Nesbit-Jerman presented their work to dozens of judges, fellow students and members of the public over the course of the three day fair. They also had the opportunity to attend lab sessions at the university and explore projects done by other students.
All of the IPS students at the science fair conducted themselves with enthusiasm and grace. In the end they came away with 3 honourable mention awards, 2 bronze medals and a special prize for “Agriculture in the classroom.”
Congratulations to all for a job well done.
