The All Science Challenge!!

After months of preparation, on Thursday, May 26th, the U of G hosted its first ever All Science Challenge!! Ten teams of students in grades 6-8 from five area schools competed for the top prize! All of the volunteers, teachers, and spectators were absolutely blown away by the questions that the students were answering! The kids worked their brains off to prepare for the big day, and their hard work really paid off! All of the competitors, whether they won or not, can be extremely proud of how they performed.

A HUGE thank you is owed to a huge number of people! In no particular order:

• Thank you to our fantastic sponsors for providing many of the materials and prizes!!
• Thank you to the national office of Let's Talk Science for their organization and support!
• Thank you to all of the volunteers who worked so hard to make the big day a success!
• Thank you to all of the teachers who worked overtime to help their students prepare!
• Thank you to the friends and families of the competitors for their support, both in advance and on the big day!
• And, of course, thank you to the competitors, who spent many hours working to study the All Science Challenge handbook!
