From seaweed fabric to emergency water filters, students shine at science fair
The Arts and Recreation Centre in Camana Bay felt more like a living laboratory than a hall on Saturday morning, as more than 40 student projects flickered, bubbled, glowed, filtered, measured and occasionally surprised even their creators.
It was the 20th Annual Rotary Central Science Fair, and from the moment the doors opened, the place hummed with the kind of excitement only young scientists can generate.
Co-chair Ally Speirs stood near the entrance, watching the crowds gather around the first exhibits. For her, the fair is personal. “It’s come a long way,” she said. “I remember being in the first ever Rotary Central Science Fair as a student. My project back then involved a live snake.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
