Collaborative Science Project & Fairs
I have helped design and run collaborative science projects and science fairs that bring together multiple
grade levels and disciplines. These events emphasise student inquiry, communication, and reflection.
- Roles included planning timelines, creating rubrics, and coordinating logistics.
- Students presented investigations to peers, parents, and staff, building confidence and scientific literacy.
- The projects achieved very high completion rates and positive feedback from the community.
