For half a century, the Estrie Science Fair has brought together students aged 6 to 20 who share their passion for science through booths, demonstrations, and experiments. To celebrate this milestone, a commemorative exhibition traces the evolution of the event with a timeline and memorabilia. It highlights portraits of passionate participants who showcased their projects over the years and reveals what they have become today. Visitors will also discover examples of projects from the three categories, along with interactive matching games to guess “who is who” and “who does what.”
This exhibition was created by Technoscience Estrie and the Museum of Nature and Science of Sherbrooke, made possible thanks to the financial support of the Québec Ministry of Culture and Communications.
