Congratulations to the Odyssey Math 8 class!

They received a First Place certificate in the American Scholastic Mathematics Association contest. It is an annual, worldwide contest that runs over 6 months. These dedicated students came in during their FIT time in semester 2 to complete the contest.

Annisa Law and Kevin Huang were amongst the highest scores in the world and received a certificate to celebrate their achievement.

Congrats to all our CWSF 2022 winners! Amazing results for our DT students! The students put in time and effort to showcase to the world how their passion can help build a better world for everyone.

CWSF is the country’s largest annual youth science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) event.  This event brings together the top young scientists together to showcase the top projects selected from the national network of over a hundred regional STEM fairs in all the provinces and territories.   The CWSF was held in Fredericton, New Brunswick and students had to navigate virtually due to the pandemic.
