Posted on:
Battle River School Division (BRSD) is proud to announce that Killam Public School hosted an engaging and successful Science Fair on April 24, 2025. This event showcased the creativity and scientific curiosity of 85 students from Kindergarten to Grade 6, all eager to explore and share their discoveries with the community.
The science fair featured a diverse range of projects, covering topics such as electricity, environmental sustainability, chemistry experiments and innovative engineering designs. Students demonstrated their understanding through hands-on presentations, engaging discussions and interactive displays.
Community members attended the event, eager to learn from the students while celebrating their hard work. The support from families, teachers, and local science enthusiasts contributed to an atmosphere of encouragement and learning.
Killam Public School principal Keely Nelson is proud of the planning process organized by teachers in charge.
“I am grateful for the work of two committed teachers, Vanessa Borgel and Kelsie Armitage, for their initiative and collaboration on this project,” said Nelson. “Our priority was to engage families and students in learning and provide opportunities for all students. To manage the volume of work and intense planning process, Vanessa and Kelsie recruited student leaders to support those unable to complete their projects at home.”
Organizing teachers are pleased with the outcome and excited about future possibilities.
“I think it was a successful science fair,” said Armitage. “It was very busy and had lots of engagement from students, staff and families.”
“We really enjoyed putting the science fair together,” said Borgel. “At Killam Public School, we strive to provide our students with hands-on experiences that spark innovation! We look forward to seeing what ideas they come up with next year.”
Science fair events not only allow students to develop their research, presentation and critical thinking skills, but also foster passion for scientific exploration. Killam Public School looks forward to continuing this tradition and inspiring future generations of young scientists.
