Science Fairs: The Missing Piece of the Education Puzzle

By Brayden Noh

When I started middle school, I was motivated to learn. I looked forward to continuing the positive experiences from my elementary school where we learned through fun activities such as building with Legos and going outside to study nature. But I quickly found out that middle school was different. It was less playing and more sitting in a chair all day. I began mentally disengaging from my classes.

Despite being enrolled in a wide variety of subjects, teaching methods were identical for every class. It was one PowerPoint presentation after another. One quiz after the next. We rushed through topics too quickly to actually learn about them. I was losing motivation and interest. Even the subjects I enjoyed, such as science and history, became colourless as the repetition continued.

By the time I moved to higher grades, I was paying less attention in class, waiting until the last day to study, and barely passing my exams. I studied not because I was curious, but only because I feared that I would fail. It was clear the teaching styles were not inspiring me to learn.
