Patrick Wins CWSF Trip Award at the 2010 BASEF Fair

We are happy to report that Patrick has carried on what sister Carolyn and brother Nicholas have achieved in past years at the BASEF Regional Science Fair. At the recent 3 day BASEF fair held at McMaster University (March 24-27), Patrick competed against over 350 projects and 400 students from Grades 7-12 schools in the Bay Area region (Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford to Oakville).

Bringing home over $560 in prize money, his Project "Brain Drain", studying and investigating the prospects of improving existing hockey helmets with the inclusion of collapsible air bags, was chosen as one of 16 projects to proceed to the National Canada Wide Science Fair (CWSF) to be held at Trent University in Peterborough during May 15-18 where there will be upwards of 350 projects who have been similarly chosen from across Canada. Patrick also won a Special Award for the project that best shows promise to receive Patent considerations. The award will introduce him to a Patent Attorney who will guide him to the Patent application process.
