With the world almost falling apart politically and the prospect of war more real than many realize – one can say that the future is bright and that there are young people who are in the process of being prepared to take on leadership roles in science.
Once again, Halton District School Board students performed well during the 63rd annual Bay Area Science and Engineering Fair (BASEF), which was held last week at Mohawk College in Hamilton.
As a result of the generous participation of dozens of sponsors and charitable donors, approximately $175,000 worth of cash prizes, awards and scholarships were given to students participating; HDSB, took 105 prizes, awards and scholarships were presented to 52 HDSB projects for their submissions.
