Westman had its best showing ever at the Canada-Wide Science Fair last week in Fredericton, N.B.
“We had three medals and three special awards and the most that our region has ever seen at Canada-Wide before,” said Robyn Forsman, the chief judge at the Western Manitoba Science Fair and the adult delegate who accompanied the four Westman students to Fredericton.
“It’s huge,” she said of the students’ wins.
The national science fair was held from May 11-18.
The Westman winners included:
— Emily Robb (Vincent Massey High School), who won a $4,000 entrance scholarship to Western University in Ontario with her Gold Excellence award, as well as a cash prize with her Nutrients for Life Foundation award of $1,000 along with winning the Environmental Challenge award.
— Amy Gudmundson ((Ecole Jours de Plaine), who won a Silver Excellence medal in the Intermediate Category. She also was awarded a $1,000 SHAD scholarship.
— Aiden Simard (Neelin High School), who won a Bronze Excellence Award in the senior category. He is working with the university to get his work on Adolescent Anxiety and Social Media published.
Rayna Shepherd from Kirckaldy Heights School also attended the national science fair but did not win.
