The Anna Regina Multilateral Secondary School, in Region Two, Pomeroon/Supenaam will be host to a number of students, accompanied by their teachers from across the country.
They are all expected to converge in the school’s Multipurpose Hall to display their various Science and Mathematics projects. The occasion would be the National Science fair to be held in the Region from today.
The fair will be held under the theme “Science, Mathematics and Technology, providing solutions for the 21st Century.”
Amelia’s Ward Grade Six pupil, Keon Mc Lean, who has been chosen to represent his School, and his classmate, Colicia Leslie, are anxious to be visiting Region Two and to be a part of the National Science, Mathematics and Technology Fair.
This newspaper caught up with Mc Lean on Monday, just before the fair got underway. Mc Lean said that his School would be showcasing a recycling project. The project was created to minimize the pollution and breathing problems in the community.
“When a handy man has to bury garbage, it takes up a large amount of land space, which can be used for other activities.”
Mc Lean explained that the message behind his school’s project basically has to do with the recycling of Tretra Pak innovation. He added that the idea was conceptualized by the pupils of the Amelia’s Ward Primary themselves.
The grade Six pupil said that his colleagues of the Amelia’s Ward Primary School, in Linden decided to orchestrate the project depicting the recycling project mainly because there was excessive amount of juice boxes being thrown about the school yard.
Mc Lean said that the juice boxes were difficult to dispose of because of the type of material they were made of. Instead of burning the juice boxes, Mc Lean said that the pupil decided to convert the used juice boxes into manmade items such as garbage bins, learning aids, teaching aids, cup holders, pencil holders, napkin holders, plate rests etc.
Mc Lean and Leslie’s tasks would be to explain the project being presented by the School to viewers of the exhibits. He hopes to gain better practice of disposing used boxes in a more innovative way. Mc Lean recently wrote the National Grade Six Examination and is awaiting his results. Last month more than 50 Schools in the Supenaam/Pomeroon district took part in the local Regional Science and Mathematics fair in Essequibo (Yannason Duncan).
