A Moorefield youth was among the gold medal winners at the 2013 Waterloo Wellington Science and Engineering Fair.
Laurel Buchanan, of Moorefield, a Grade 10 student at St. John’s-Kilmarnock School in Kitchener, won gold in the physical and mathematical science intermediate category with a project entitled “What Do The Ears Hear?”
The fair, which took place on April 9, 2013 at Bingemans in Waterloo, allowed approximately 300 students (220 projects) in Grade 7 through 12 from Waterloo Region, Wellington County and the Upper Grand District School Board, to showcase the projects they had spent months preparing.
Of the students who competed, 163 were awarded gold, silver, bronze or pewter medals. In addition to the medals, students won thousands of dollars in cash, scholarships and special awards.
