| My name is Alex Rhee. I am a grade 9 student at The Woodlands School. I enjoy video games, soccer and ball hockey. The entire science fair experience has been a highlight of this year and hope to do it again until I'm off to university. I'm not sure what I'll be studying there but you'll find me in the workshop creating gizmos and gadgets. |
