Grace Ma was invited to represent Kelvin High School’s ISAMR (International Student-Led Arctic Monitoring and Research) program at the first annual Prime Minister's Science Fair on Sept. 26.
Grace was chosen as one of 30 students from across Canada to present award-winning projects to Prime Minister Trudeau and the newly appointed science advisor, Mona Nemer. The focus of Grace's project was ISAMR’s work near Churchill on climate change, the changing permafrost layer, and polar bear research. Other students presented projects on topics ranging from robotics to cancer research and brain surgery.
Six years ago, Kelvin joined with the Park School of Baltimore and the Canadian Junior Rangers from Churchill to form ISAMR (International Student-Led Arctic Monitoring and Research).
The Kelvin science department is grateful for the continued support and guidance of Dr. Jane Waterman, Dr. Jim Roth, and Dr. Ryan Brooks and the research support of the University of Manitoba through an NSERC PromoScience grant.
