“This year’s science fair will be the Belize Zoo’s eighth annual science fair. It started in 1991 with seven schools. Schools’ participation have now doubled; we have at least seven hundred and fifty to eight hundred teachers and parents attending the event this year.”

Q: “What about the main attractions at this year’s fair?”

The first prize for the science competition will be a fully loaded computer for the winning school. Second prize is a four year high school scholarship for a deserving student. The children will also receive a free zoo tour. The science fair and competition is March twelfth.
