4-H Canada and Bayer Launch 3rd Annual 4-H Canada Science Fair
OTTAWA – An organization once known as primarily an agrarian entity continues to expand its horizons.
4-H Canada and its Science and Technology Pillar Partner, Bayer, have launched the third annual 4-H Canada Science Fair. It’s the only non-school science fair in the country, and is part of 4-H Canada’s commitment to foster STEM skills — or science, technology, engineering and math.
With Bayer’s support, 4-H is playing an increasingly active role in engaging young Canadian minds in STEM,” said Shannon Benner, CEO of 4-H Canada. “By creating a culture of curiosity, youth are more likely to see themselves as catalysts of change and make connections between the world, the positive contributions they can make and science.”
In 2016-2017, thirty 4-H members competed in the 4-H Canada Science Fair and five moved on to the Canada-Wide Science Fair, where three won several bronze medals in their categories.
