As you are aware, our District had to make the hard decision to cancel our District STEM Fest events in Bathurst and Miramichi in March 2020.
We understand how hard our students and teachers worked to be prepared and were disappointed with the lost opportunity to showcase these amazing projects. We encouraged and hoped that students would keep their project ongoing for future learning and showcasing.
An opportunity has arisen for grade 7-12 students if they wish to showcase their project virtually at a national level. Youth Science Canada has announced a virtual fair for May 2020. They understand that many regional fairs were cancelled so this opportunity is open to any interested student from grades 7-12 (whether they were attending district/regional fairs or not).
** Update:
- Monday, May 4 - Open for project & STEM Expo entry
- Tuesday, May 19 - Open for public, home learning & judging
- Thursday, May 21 - Region judging deadline
- Wednesday, May 27 - YSC & Sponsor judging deadline
