60 budding scientists from 20 primary schools pitted their intellectual skills against one another in the Annual Junior Science Challenge organized by the West Zone of Excellence @ RVHS.
The theme of the Challenge this year is “Science in Action!”. This theme serves to increase students’ awareness on how science can be harnessed to improve quality of life.
We hope that the Challenge had instilled a greater interest in the quest for scientific knowledge in the primary school students and that they are inspired to venture deeper into the field of Science.
