UFV Hosts Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair
Kindergarten to Grade 12 students from schools in the Fraser Valley region gathered at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) to showcase their science fair projects at the Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair. Participants came from Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, and Hope, presenting a total of 116 projects to the public and judges. Students had the opportunity to win cash and prizes, with those in Grades 7 to 12 eligible to represent Team BC at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Ottawa.
At Dasmesh Punjabi School in Abbotsford, students went through a rigorous selection process to make it to the regional science fair. Initially, five projects were chosen from each class, which was then narrowed down to three for the final presentation. The event aimed to encourage students’ passion for science and innovation, with projects covering a wide range of topics such as plant photosynthesis, global warming, mental health, and even 3-D printing.
One of the standout projects at the fair was by Grade 8 students Japandeep Gill and Metaab Khangura. Inspired by a frustrating experience at the airport
