Approximately 350 students presented projects and volunteered their time to help out from several different programs including General Science, Radiation Oncology, Diagnostic Imaging, Nursing, Civil Tech and Mech Tech.
The week-long event was held primarily in Conrods with a Science Fair and Poster Presentation running all day.
