Students showcase diverse projects at Chinook Regional Science Fair

Posted on 1 April 2022 by Prairie Post

The 32nd annual Chinook Regional Science Fair saw 35 students showcase 22 projects from diverse topics ranging from vaccines and rapid tests to swimsuits and robotic vision.

The Saskatchewan Chinook Regional Science Fair provides an opportunity for young scientists from southwest Saskatchewan to present their research, earn prizes, and for a chance to compete at the Canada-Wide Science Fair.

The Canada-Wide Science Fair is the country’s largest annual youth science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) event, bringing together top young scientists and their projects, selected by their regional fair.
