On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 the second annual Science Olympics competition was held at Algoma University, in conjunction with Science North.

It is a competition between local high school students, where teams of four complete a series of hands-on activities that test their scientific skills, including biology, chemistry and engineering.

It was apparent throughout the day that all of the students, who numbered close to 100 were having fun applying their knowledge and problem solving skills in creative ways.

The senior gold medal-winning team from White Pines consisted of Karly Janisse, Leah Hodgson, Sophia Greco and Emily Aleksa.
