Three Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) students are among local kids who have qualified to attend the 2017 Canada-Wide Science Fair in Regina May 14-20.
Luc Couture, a Grade 10 student at Collège Notre-Dame, will be competing for the second time at Canada-Wide Science Fair.
This year, his project is entitled “The Impact of Optical Accessories on the Performance of Solar Panels” (Les effets des accessoires optiques sur la performance d’un panneau solaire).
Joseph Trottier, a Grade 10 student at Collège Notre-Dame, will also be going to Regina. He was honoured for the quality of his project entitled “Knowing Your Weight Is Not Enough” (Connaître son poids de suffit pas).
Rochelle Larivière, a Grade 7 student at École St-Paul, was also selected to represent the region of Sudbury at the Canada-Wide Science Fair.
She was selected in light of the quality of her project entitled “Lead in the Venison” (Du plomb dans la venaison).
“The participation of our students in the Canada-Wide Science Fair reflects the quality of the educational program provided to our students as well as the high level of excellence of our teachers in the fields of science and technology,” said Lyse-Anne Papineau, CSCNO's director of education, in a press release.
“We are proud of their accomplishments and are convinced that they will represent us with honour at the national level.
“CSCNO students have a truly well-earned reputation for academic excellence. Our junior scientists will now have an opportunity to shine at the national level and will take advantage of this unique, high-level science competition opportunity to reach new horizons,” said CSCNO president André Bidal.
