PPC Ltd has partnered with the Ministry of Education in presenting this year’s Science Fair. The Ministry of Education Science Fair 2011 sponsored by PPC Ltd takes place on March 9-10, 2011 in Providenciales and will be held under the theme, “Caring for the TCI Environment is Our Responsibility: SUSTAIN, PRESERVE, ENHANCE.”
The 2011 Science Fair begins with an opening ceremony at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex, Downtown Providenciales at 10:00am and the two day showcase kicks off with a unique display of science exhibits from public and private secondary schools within the Turks and Caicos Islands. Schools will all have a chance to present brilliant and exciting ways in which they can participate in caring for the TCI environment.
Other planned activities for the 2011 Fair are the science quiz competition for high school students on 10th March at 10:00am at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex and a science poster competition; culminating with a prize giving ceremony.
Vice President of Customer and Corporate Services, Allan Robinson, commented, “PPC has always been a huge supporter of initiatives which encourage the development of young TCI minds. This partnership with the Ministry of Education also complements our Environmental programme which aims to encourage the public to be more concerned about TCI’s environment. ”
Edgar Howell, Director of Education added, “The Science Fair, as a “Centre of Learning”, presents an opportunity for students to showcase their innovative and creative skills. The Fair is certainly one way to heighten an interest in science and create a public awareness of the importance of the scientific method as a viable approach to solving some of our more perplexing environmental and social problems.”
