On Friday, May 2nd, twelve grade 8 students (Kim N., Zach R., Ashley H., Waedon D., Alex C., Matt D., Raina A., Mercedes M., Geoff H., Jason V., Jeffrey H., Paris T., (and Hannah P.)) participated in the Let's Talk Science Challenge" at the U of M. where they competed against over 50 teams across Manitoba and over 3000 students across Canada. The day consisted of a "Science Quiz Show" consisting of over 40 questions in the morning and a "Design Challenge Project" in the afternoon. The students enjoyed the format of the day as well as the challenges they faced in categories of Earth Science, Biology, Math, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Technology, Environmental Science, Space Science, and in the designing and building of a self-propelled gondola with just minimal material.
For the last three months, the students have spent time during noon hours and after school reviewing material and preparing for this challenging, exciting, and knowledgeable day.
