All the students that participated have all gained valuable experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">DT students want to thank all the adults, family members, mentors, and all the science fair volunteers that dedicated their time and gave their support.\u00a0 DT would like to thank Dr. J. McEwen and Mr. Austin Wang for giving financial support so that students can build these costly projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">So, what\u2019s next?\u00a0 Five DT students (Tara Zhan, Justin Peng, Viduni Siriwardana, Matthew Moi, and Justin Du) have been invited to participate in the Canada Wide Science Fair that will be taking place May 17-21, 2021.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more updates on these students!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Listed below are the GVRSF 2021 award recipients.\u00a0
