I had the opportunity to check out the exhibits produced by high school students for the Canada-Wide Science Fair, and it was truly impressive! But one thing kept going through my mind: how would I be able to evaluate these projects?
Fortunately, my guest today is Frank Collins, the Assistant Dean of Engineering at UNB Fredericton and one of the people chosen to judge the science projects presented at the fair. We talk about the breadth and depth of the projects, the very impressive work done by students, and how important it is for kids to participate in things like this (and how important it is for the rest of us — and the rest of the world! — to acknowledge and support them).
Music today:
- The passing of blues guitar legend B. B. King could not pass without notice, so I picked How Blue Can You Get? from a 1999 CD release of a 1971 concert of B. B. King in Japan.
- And the students involved in the science projects are now done with the hard work (for a while), and must now ask themselves: What Lies Ahead? The Young Novelists have that question on their minds in this song taken from the album Made Us Strangers.
