Participants use tools to dig for fossils in sedimentary rocks at the Earth Science for Society Exhibition at Calgary’s Stampede Park. The fossils came from the Burgess Shale in the Rocky Mountains and contained marine fossils such as trilobites. More than 2,000 students and other visitors enjoyed a variety of hands-on exhibits and presentations. APEGA was a sponsor of the event, which aims to educate people about Earth science and how it impacts our lives. -photo courtesy Earth Science for Society GOING FOR GOLD Students — and a proud supervisor — celebrate an Edmonton Science Olympics gold medal performance at the Shaw Conference Centre. -photo by Scott Parker CRAFT WORK TOWERS Students construct craft stick transmission towers at the Edmonton Science Olympics. -photo by Scott Parker
