Last year was phenomenal; the bar will be raised this year- Hon de Castro

Hon de Castro, commenting on the success of the 2024 edition of the National Science and Innovation Fair, called it “phenomenal”.

This year, she said; however, the energy will be turned up, raising the bar.

“Imagine walking into a space buzzing with young minds solving real-world problems, interactive displays, hands-on experiments and so much more. This is the future of the Virgin Islands in action,” she stated.

The Education Minister encouraged interested parties to mark their calendars, spread the word, and join the ministry as the power of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

“Let's make the 2025 Science Fair bigger, better, and more unforgettable than ever. We look forward to seeing you there,” Hon de Castro stated.
