This one-day event will be held Wednesday, April 10 in Gym A of the Nipissing University Sports Complex.
"This will be one of the most valuable experiences for young scientists, as it presents an opportunity for students to discuss their findings with established members of the scientific community," says Christine Page, Media Chair.
Five of the top students will be awarded an opportunity to attend the Canada-Wide Science Fair 2019 to be held in Fredericton in May.
"This year we will have several inspirational presentations for our young scientists and fair participants will be provided with a ballot to enter a draw for a special prize," adds Page.
"Again this year, we will have Elementary school “Science on the Wall” posters, which will provide younger students the chance to present their scientific savvy and experience the regional fair forum."
The schedule of events begins Wednesday with registration and project set-up from 8 to 9 a.m., followed by judging from 9 until noon and resuming after lunch. The Awards Ceremony will take place between 6:30 and 8 p.m.
"A science fair project can be self-validating and exciting because it is not just practice - it involves real discovery of little known or even unknown information," says Page. "At the NBRSF Junior, Intermediate and Senior students from grade 7 to 12 have an opportunity to present their findings in Life Science, Physical Science, Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Biotechnology, and, Earth and Environmental Sciences categories."
Regional major award-winning projects attend the Canada-Wide Science Fair and possibly the Intel International Science and Engineering competitions, where there are cash awards, bursaries, scholarships, and apprenticeships. At the regional level, a host of prizes are available for all categories. There are three project types (experiment, innovation or study) that can be performed.
