| My name is Claire Petersen. I am a grade 11 student at Olds High School. In my spare time I play competitive softball and enjoy being active outside through hiking and skiing. I also have a passion for reading and learning languages. In the future, I would like to pursue a career in engineering, as I have a passion for math and science. Also in the future I would love to continue to participate in science fairs. I have really enjoyed my experience with science fair and would love to explore other aspects of science in future years. This year my project is psychology based, which is something I have become very interested in. This will be my second Canada-Wide Science Fair and am super excited to be participating in it again this year! |
