Hi Cranny Intermediates, (a message from the YRDSB),
"It’s
that time of year again to start thinking about encouraging students
to participate in the York Region Science and Technology Fair taking
place on Saturday, April 5th at Stephen Lewis Secondary School. The
fair is a great opportunity for students to share the product of their
independent inquiries in a real world context
and gives them the opportunity to engage with members of the community
to share their research. Participation in the fair is open to all Grade
7 and 8 students enrolled in York Region schools. Registration opens
January 6th, 2014 and closes March 7th, 2014.
Please share the attached flyer/ information. Schools may
submit up to a maximum of 5 projects per school, but the final number
of projects accepted will be dependent on the
number of registrations received and the available space.
Gold medal
winners will be eligible for an all expenses paid trip to the Canada
Wide Science Fair in May!
Please note:
Please note:
- Students need to have a "Mentor" over the age of 18, but it does not need to be a teacher.
- Students may enter projects that they have done as part of a school project as long as they have worked individually or in pairs on the project. Projects involving 3 or more students do not qualify for the fair.
- Students using "human" subjects in their research must complete the proper ethics forms and must have all participants sign a consent form prior to beginning their research!
Please do not hesitate to ask questions here, contact teachers, or ask around if you have questions."
This seems really interesting.I might actually, want to enter this contest.Whoever thought of sharing this with us, good job. I think I know a lot of people who might be interested in this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hassan, it sounds like a great opportunity. And spread the word!
