Whitehorse - The Yukon/Stikine Regional Science Fair competition takes place at Yukon College on Saturday, December 6, 2014

68 projects from Grades 4-12 have been selected from school fairs held in the past month to compete at the regional level. Seven schools are competing: Jack Hulland, Teslin Community School, Vanier Catholic Secondary, Whitehorse Elementary, Holy Family, and Hidden Valley. The Yukon Home Educators are also participating.

Select Grades 7-12 winners of the Science Fair will have an opportunity to compete in the Canada-Wide Science Fair in May 2015, to be held in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Last year the Yukon/Stikine Regional Science Fair sent three finalists, Sophia Ross, Isabel Magsucang, and KC Mooney to the national fair in Windsor, Ontario.

The public are welcome to view the innovative and interesting projects at the Regional Science Fair this Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Yukon College Gym. Award presentations take place at 1:30 p.m.

Everyone is invited to come out and support the bright young minds of Yukon.
