The 2nd edition of the Expo-Sciences Virtuelle was once again a success and Francophone CÉF schools intend to continue building on the momentum next year. A big "thank you" to the judges who agreed to take part in this new format.
The CÉF reminds everyone that this event aims to enable Fransaskois School Board students to develop a sense of belonging in the broader provincial Francophone school community, in order to create a provincial sociolinguistic network. The goal is also to have fun in French while enabling students to develop a spirit of scientific investigation.
