Gonzaga-WJA Science Fair
The third annual Gonzaga-WJA Science Fair took place on Friday, February 9 in the Carmody Center. The culmination of months of hard work by students from both schools, the fair this year featured the work of 27 pairs of students.
In the months leading up to the event, there were 10 open lab sessions on Fridays after school, when students from WJA would spend two hours at Gonzaga with their partner, planning and working on their projects. In the end, the resulting projects addressed a wide range of interesting topics -- from machine learning and electrolyte levels in sports drinks to the diet of microscopic nematodes.
