Welcome to the spring edition of the Science Expo News Bulletin! We are very excited to announce that Science Expo 2012 is soon taking place at the Ontario Science Center on February 25th 2012.

hard at work to prepare for what promises to be an exciting day. Two years since our inception, Science Expo has grown from a local 2-hour event to a full day provincial conference. As Co-Presidents and Co-Founders of this organization, we are so proud to see what it has grown into, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of everyone involved. We would like to give a special thank you to our amazing team and the ambassadors who brought this vision to life.

We started Science Expo after our last science fair competition and thought what better way to end our science fair journey than to start it for someone else. It is our hope that Science Expo will act as a catalyst in your STEM journey and help to empower your future.
