District students brought their knowledge, focus, and infectious curiosity to Woodstock’s AYR Motor Centre on Feb. 27 for this year’s STEAM Expo science fair and competition.
The event saw students showcase their own detailed, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math)-oriented projects—many with real-world applications—in a contest to win a spot at the Canada-wide Science Fair in Ottawa, May 25-June 1.
Three students—Lucas Lima Andrejanini, and the team of Jack D’Entremont and Onkit Saha—were chosen to represent Anglophone School District West at the Grade 7-12 national science fair, while a fourth, Bliss-Carman Middle School Grade 6 student Emelia Lovely received special mention for her outstanding work.
The four winners’ projects were chosen from a field of 37 well-researched, well-presented student projects on such subjects as ocean microplastics clean-up, geothermal energy, aircraft collision avoidance, and more. In addition, our community partners showed their support by offering educational games and interactive activities that catered to student curiosity. Those activities included brain-teasing games of skill, a hands-on soldering tutorial, and a hand-cranked lightbulb.
The district would like to thank our dedicated staff, students, parents and guardians, as well as our community partners for their efforts in making the annual STEAM Expo a success. Your dedication to our ASD-W students is truly appreciated.
Our community partners: Brilliant Labs, Science East, New Brunswick branch of the Royal Canadian Astronomical Society, The Quartermain Earth Science Centre, The Gaia Project, Agriculture in the Classroom, Conservation Council of New Brunswick, Ducks Unlimited.
