Science Fair Club 2020–2021 Recap
Our virtual Science Fair Club was a huge success! Through bi-weekly after-school Zoom sessions, students received step-by-step support to build their own science fair projects—culminating in an exciting online showcase where they presented to peers.
Each session featured guest speakers who shared how science fairs inspired their careers. With guidance from mentors and the Creative Encounters team, students gained confidence and skills—and several even took home top prizes at the Waterloo-Wellington Regional Science Fair!
