|---|
| My name is Soheil Ghaffari and I'm a grade 9 student from Bayview Community School, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. This is my second time at CWSF. Previously, I had done research on the harmful effects of Wi-Fi radiation. This year, I became interested in spreading awareness about Lyme disease.
I immigrated to Canada at age 4 in 2007. I am very involved in music and art, and volunteer on the local Community Health Board and school breakfast and mentoring programs. By now, I know that science would be a field I would enjoy pursuing and would hope that the experience that I obtained from science fair would give me a head start in university |
