Odyssey/AP Mini School Program

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.
