| My name is Isaac Longard and I am a grade ten student at Park View Education Centre in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. I am excited to be attending the Canada Wide Science Fair! I have an interest in sustainable energy and energy conservation. I tend to avoid activities involving unnecessary use of internal combustion engines! My hobbies include volleyball, badminton, tennis, swimming, soccer, skiing, biking, sailing, music and camping. I have earned gold medals in Badminton at the provincial level and have been a five time gold medalist at the regional science fair. I also enjoy working with youth. I have participated in student leadership programs and have taught many recreational activities from snowshoeing to tennis! Next year I will be taking the International Baccalaureate program at Park View. My favorite subject areas are math and science and my career interests include engineering or architecture. |
