This year’s learning fair included student constructed projects such as Rube Goldberg machines, periscopes and roller coasters. Research was completed on a wide variety of topics such as cancer causing foods, hand dominance, and reasons why you can’t win at carnival games.

This was the eleventh year that St. Mary’s Academy hosted the learning fair.  The event challenges students to select projects that broaden their knowledge on subjects they are passionate about. [/private]
