MUIDS held its first Science Fair competition on May 25th, 2016 at 1:00pm-4:00pm at the Ground Floor. This event gave students a chance to
show their knowledge and skills in Science by presenting their experiments to the judges and visitors. All students who joined the competition got
certificates, Bazingaa points for their science classes, and additional percentage points on their Quarter 4 science grade based on a rubric (2.5% Low
Score, 5% Medium Score, 7.5% High Score). Grade 12th students were given the option to present their science capstone projects. Below is the list of
students who received the top awards.

I thought that it went really well. We had about 150 students participating
with 47 projects which I think was a good number for our first Science Fair.
Hopefully, next year we can have more students to participate. All students
really amazed all teachers and sta at the projects that they did and how they
attempted to do their experiments. The presentation that they made is really
outstanding, said Ms. Tara Kenyon, the Head of Science Department. We
hope to improve the award for example we only have five awards this year and
next year we would like to have more and maybe divide the award up by grade
level. We may be allowed to do full-day next year instead of half-day because
half-day didnt give the judges enough time for each station and we also would
like to do it in the winter next year so it will not be hot, she added.
