SCIENCE. At the end of the regional final of the Expo-sciences Hydro-Québec, six projects were selected to represent the Mauricie and Center-du-Québec in the Quebec final, including four from the Collège Saint-Bernard (CSB) .
For three days, in virtual mode, the regional final welcomed a large number of visitors who came to discover the scientific projects of young people from several schools in the region. A total of 27 exhibitors, from high school and college level, presented their project.
Five CSB students were chosen on Saturday to participate in the 43rd edition of the Super Expo-sciences Hydro-Québec, from April 22 to 25. They will represent the Mauricie and Center-du-Québec delegation.
They are Émile Gobeil and Olivier Gailloux with the project The squille: innovate by being inspired, Olivier Hamel with the project Surface decontamination, Marie-Sophie Lacasse and Sélénie Giguère with the project The dark side of the light and Malory Boisclair and Danika Ouellet for the project Antimicrobial cruor?.
The public is invited to encourage the exhibitors during the Quebec finals. This will be an opportunity for you to rediscover their project and follow their progress. Visit technoscience.ca to access the event.
The competition does not end there. The projects that stand out can be selected for the Canada-wide Science Fair, which will take place next May in virtual form.
Note that during the regional final, $ 20,000 in prizes and scholarships were shared among the exhibitors who stood out. The CSB won a total of 11 awards. Marie-Rivier high school also had a distinction. (EL)
