Success Story:

Science Fair Project Leads to Future Success

Youth Science Ontario’s goal is to help communities offer a range of programs so that all youth can find their passion in the fields of science, engineering and technology. We believe this support is important in helping youth understand how science activities today can translate to career opportunities and see themselves in these careers in the future. Rachel Zimmerman Brachman’s story is a recent example of this philosophy.
