On April 18, 2021, five participants in the Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair won a spot to compete at the 2021 Canada-wide Science Virtual Fair from Ottawa. These students have been refining their projects, rehearsing their speeches and working with mentors. This is an amazing opportunity
Luisa McGilly and Taguen Tsokos of St. Paul C.S.S. Trenton are presenting a project on learning: The Study of How Students Learn Best. Nina Graciano of the HPEDSB Virtual School studied how fire is affected by liquids: Fire Fueds – Fire vs Liquid. The project of Jay Solomon of Eastside High School supports the hypothesis that dehydration can lead to worst concussions: The Increased Concussion Risk of the Dehydrated Brain.

The Quinte Regional Science and Technology Fair is proud of these students for their dedication to get to this point.
