STUDENTS from across the island continue to demonstrate that they have what it takes to makes a difference in the world of science.
During last Wednesday to Friday’s National Schools’ Science & Technology Fair held at Derek Walcott Square, about 50 of the science projects that entered this year’s competition were on display for the public. The judging process also took place in various categories of the competition.
