Marie Martin Primary School proudly hosted its annual Science Fair for the second consecutive year on Thursday, 20^th February, offering students a valuable opportunity to engage in hands-on learning, explore their curiosity, and develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With the continued support of Health City Cayman, the event once again highlighted the school’s dedication to fostering a passion for science and innovation.

According to Science Lead and event organiser, Mrs. Kadian Boland-Curtis, "The Science Fair plays a key role in enhancing students' educational experiences by encouraging them to experiment, discover, and present their findings—core elements of the Cayman National Science Curriculum. It not only supports academic growth but also inspires creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong love of learning.”

This year’s fair saw an impressive 58 student entries, each showcasing curiosity, innovation, and scientific thinking.

The judging panel brought together both familiar and new faces, ensuring a well-rounded evaluation of the projects. Returning Judge Mr. Tiyen Miller, Science and Technology Coach from the Ministry of Education, was joined by first-time judges Mrs. Davienne Spence-Simpson, Science Lead at Red Bay Primary School, and Mrs. Morgan Golden Ebanks, Sustainability Officer at the Ministry of Sustainability & Climate Resiliency.

Several notable guests attended the event, including Mr. Joseph Hew, Leader of the Opposition; past Principal Ms. Marie Martin; and Ms. Shakirra Connor, Education Specialist at Health City Cayman. A strong turnout from parents and community partners further underscored the shared commitment to supporting student success.

Mrs. Boland-Curtis extended her gratitude to all participants, judges, guests, and community partners for their continued encouragement and support, which help make the Science Fair a meaningful and inspiring event for the entire school community.
