Sara Giroux knows the importance of science fair from experience. “Youth science fairs provide an unparalleled experience in STEM where a student’s natural curiously guides them. My son participated in his school fair, then the Rotary Algoma Science Fair, and moved on to the Canada Wide Science Fair, where he won a Gold Medal. Rotary provides an exceptional environment for students to thrive and supports them throughout the process. As a result, my son gained confidence in his abilities and fine-tuned his presentation skills. Science Fair is an exceptional opportunity for students to engage in active learning and STEM literacy. I cannot recommend this experience enough to develop project management, research and communication skills.”
