| My name is Lucas Hilden, I am a grade 7 student from West Hants Middle School. I was born in Oshawa, Ontario but I grew up in Falmouth, Nova Scotia. My favorite thing to do outside of school is to play and compete in hockey and baseball. In my house, I live with my parents and my younger sister, Addison. I also have 3 cats and a dog. I was inspired to do this project by my father. He has mined for awhile but I never understood what it was. In the near future, I would like to further look into mining and other technologies that are similar. If anyone is thinking about doing a science fair project, I would definitely say do it. There are so many great things to go along with your project, learning a lot of new things for your own project and others. |
