American School hosts Science fair
The Georgetown International Academy (GIA) commonly known as the “American School” last week held its
One of the projects on display
annual Science Fair. The fair showcased various “scientific” projects from students throughout the institution.
Principal Dr. Kelly Mekdeci said that the fair is held annually, and participation is something which is mandatory. “Every student has to present their project and winners are awarded.”
According to the principal, the fair gives the children a chance to explore, investigate and test hypotheses. She noted that it also helps in the area of public speaking which is beneficial to them.
Science Coordinator at the school, George Clarington, said that this year the theme of the fair was investigation through inquiry. He said that children were expected to exercise their inquiry skills. “The fair was two days and students had to present before judges,” Clarington said.
He added that there were rules that the students had to follow. The work is based on a hands-on approach. He said that the director and administration are pleased with the projects presented.
Back in April the “American School” had received world class accreditation. Mekdeci had told Kaieteur News that the school is the first school in Guyana to be accredited by AdvancED in the United States.
