The Science and Technology Fair attracts participants for a number of reasons. Perhaps it’s the challenge. Perhaps the interest in something new. Perhaps it’s the prizes.
Whatever your motivation, we think the Science and Technology Fair will offer you as a student a great opportunity to further develop your skills and understanding in the exciting areas of Science and Technology. We also hope you’ll have some fun along the way!
