Last Friday, students from across the region showcased their curiosity, creativity, and passion for discovery at the 37th Annual Rotary Algoma STEM Fair.

The event welcomed students in Grades 7 through 12 and provided an exciting opportunity to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a hands-on and meaningful way. Through their projects, students demonstrated not only their knowledge, but also their initiative, resourcefulness, and innovative thinking.

The Rotary Algoma STEM Fair continues to be an important platform for youth to discover their interests, express their creativity, and be recognized for their hard work and dedication.
