Young innovators in the Bluewater District School Board will bring science and technology projects to the national stage.
Following the Bluewater Regional Science and Technology Fair (BRSTF) earlier this month, six Grey and Bruce County students were selected to represent Team Bluewater at the 2025 Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF).
This year’s national event takes place May 31 to June 7 at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, where over 400 students from across the country will compete for nearly $1 million in awards, scholarships, and opportunities.
Team Bluewater includes:
Tristian Lush, Georgian Bay Community School — “Wool pellets or a peat moss alternative?”
Jack Lang, Sullivan Community School — “Wing shape vs. lift”
Isaiah Baker, St. Mary’s High School — “EMF’s waves vs. plant growth”
Chayle Oatts, St. Mary’s High School — “Colostrum – bettering your calves' health”
Charlotte Woodhouse, St. Mary’s High School — “The price of a pedigree; Inbreeding toll on Holstein production”
Jade Lowry, Kincardine District Senior School — “Which hand drying method is cleanest?”
Special recognition went to Jack Lang, who earned Best of Fair honours at the Senior Fair for his exploration of aerodynamics in “Wing shape vs. lift.”
The Junior Fair, held April 9, also showcased creative, hands-on experiments by younger students. River Armstrong of Elgin Market Public School was named Best of Fair for the project “Will the shape or size of a water wheel determine how much electricity it generates?”
A complete list of winners and medalists can be found at www.brstf.org.
As the countdown to Fredericton begins, Team Bluewater is hard at work preparing for this national stage, with hopes of bringing home awards and recognition for the region.
