Wonder of Science Regional Conferences go Virtual!

August 10, 2020/ Admin

Darling Downs South West schools (32 classes) from Year 5 - 9 participated in Wonder of Science thanks to generous funding from Arrow Energy! Based on continuing uncertainties related to COVID-19 all Wonder of Science school programs moved online for 2020 - meaning Young Science Ambassador visits will occurred via video lessons or video conferencing sessions. The 2020 Wonder of Science Darling Downs South West Regional Conferences also looked a little different running ONLINE via Zoom where representative teams from each school presented the results of their WoS challenge tasks for the term.

Congratulations to all of the winning teams and to all of the students who participated! The winning teams were:

Dalby South State School (Year 5)
Meandarra State School (Year 6)
Taroom State School (Year 7 and 8)
Roma State College (Year 9)

Our winning Meandarra team included students that were Year 5 winners in 2019 - making them two-time champions!

All participating students were mailed a certificate for participation and the winning teams received a trophy and medals which schools presented to their students at school parades.

Watch this space for the next round of winning teams from the Term 3 Virtual Regional Student Conferences!
