Calgary Youth Science Fair: Innovative Projects & Natural pH Indicator

0:00It's April 10th. Welcome in. This is Calgary News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Over 900 students from grades 5 to 12 are showcasing their science projects at the Calgary Youth Science Fair this weekend at the Olympic Oval. Experiments cover everything from deforestation impacts to improving golf ball performance, judged by over 500 volunteers. These fall into categories like innovations, experiments, and studies, drawing kids from all kinds of backgrounds and ages side by side. The fairs open to the public Saturday, April 11th, from 9 a.m. until noon, when awards get handed out.
