The innovators and discoverers of tomorrow took centre stage in Chesterfield Inlet when Victor Sammurtok School (VSS) hosted its Elementary Science Fair on Dec. 4.
Local fairs in schools across the region led up to the Kivalliq Science EducatorsSA国际影视传媒� CommunitySA国际影视传媒檚 (KSEC) Kivalliq Regional Science Fair, where students were vying for the right to represent the Kivalliq at the national Canada-Wide Science Fair.
The 2019 regional science fair will be held at Qitiqliq Middle School in Arviat from March 15 to 17.
KSEC president Rob Humby of Chesterfield Inlet is enjoying overseeing his fourth science fair at VSS this year.
Humby said the coolest thing about the annual science fair is that thereSA国际影视传媒檚 always different projects to see and thereSA国际影视传媒檚 always a really nice variety of work entered from the students in kindergarten all the way up to Grade 8.
He said year in and year out, thereSA国际影视传媒檚 always something new and fresh about the event, and that says a lot about the school and its students.
SA国际影视传媒淥ur students have some great ideas and itSA国际影视传媒檚 amazing to see them be able to organize those ideas into a project in the science fair,SA国际影视传媒� said Humby.
SA国际影视传媒淥ur school, as a whole, takes the annual science fair very seriously and weSA国际影视传媒檙e quite proud of our results over the years.
SA国际影视传媒淭he students, and even our staff, realize that the school science fair is an opportunity SA国际影视传媒� where students feel motivated and want to learn about the questions that often pop up in their mind on a daily basis,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭he positive feedback and successful students over the years at the VSS Science Fair and the Kivalliq Regional Science Fair keeps our students motivated to do even better and come up with a better project next year.SA国际影视传媒�
Humby said there were 23 projects entered into this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 elementary science fair, which made it really interesting.
He said there are usually three types of science fair projects SA国际影视传媒� the experiments, the research projects and innovation, which is inventing something new.
SA国际影视传媒淲e had a wide range of projects from our younger students this year in all three types of projects, including a couple of innovations, which is really nice to see,SA国际影视传媒� Humby said. SA国际影视传媒淩eally thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what stands out from the rest for me, when thereSA国际影视传媒檚 innovation involved.SA国际影视传媒�
Humby said the senior high science fair will be held sometime in February while the group prepares for the regional fair.
SA国际影视传媒淭he science fair is a big deal to our school and our students and ISA国际影视传媒檓 grateful to have the amount of support we do from the students, the staff and the community members, because without any of them this just wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 be possible.SA国际影视传媒�
