A Brentwood Bay student took home the Platinum Award at the recent 2023 Canada-Wide Science Fair awards in Edmonton.
Andrei Marti, 13, a student at St. Michael’s University School, won the top award in the Best Junior division in the category of “discovery” for his “Sweet Scores” STEM project.
“The name of my project was a play on words — ‘sweet’ is for my blood sugar level and ‘score’ is a reference to soccer. It was probably the shortest name of a project in the whole competition,” he says. Along with the Platinum Award, he earned a gold medal in the Junior Category and was the Challenge Award winner in the Junior Category for Disease and Illness. He received a $5,000 scholarship to the University of Alberta as well as a $4,000 scholarship to Western University.
The grants, ranging from $15,000 to $50,000, will go toward programs and projects for seniors, families, mental health and addictions, diversity, equity and inclusion and support for Indigenous communities. >>> Strathcona reaches out The Strathcona Regional District is looking for area residents with disabilities, disability advocates and support workers, as well as people who reflect the diversity of the region, to join a new Strathcona Accessibility and Inclusion Committee.
