Rainbow students participate in Sudbury Regional Science Fair on April 11 and 12

Exhibits will be open for public viewing on Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 1 pm to 4 pm and Sunday, April 12, 2026 from 12:45 pm to 1:15 pm.

Students won the honour to compete at the regional level following the Rainbow District School Board Science Fair held at Lockerby Composite School on March 10, 2026.

Projects from the Sudbury Regional Science Fair will be selected for the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton in May.

“Students who prepare Science Fair projects let their curiosity guide them as they question, observe and explore,” said Rainbow District School Board Director of Education Bruce Bourget. “We wish all participants well as they vie to compete at the national level.”

“By participating in the Science Fair, students have the opportunity to actively engage in authentic learning,” said Rainbow District School Board Science Fair Chair Lindsay Bennett. “As students investigate real world questions and problems, they enhance their scientific skills and potentially further their interest in science related careers.”
