Vaughan Public Libraries (VPL) continues to offer educational online programming for kids to enjoy and take part in from the safety of home during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Starting Friday, June 5, VPL is hosting its first-ever Virtual Science Fair for children in Grades 2 to 12.

The theme for the Virtual Science Fair is Staying Happy and Healthy @Home. Registrants are encouraged to get creative for their entry. They can create a video, an animation or invent something new. Those interested in participating are encouraged to submit their projects between Friday, June 5 and Tuesday, June 30. Contestants can take part individually or as a group of up to four. Judging will be based on three different age categories:

• Junior (Grades 2 to 5)
• Intermediate (Grades 6 to 8)
• Senior (Grades 9 to 12)

Science projects will be reviewed by a panel of judges for a chance to win prizes. For more information on how to enter, visit vaughanpl.info/ScienceFair.  A host of resources will be available online to help science fair participants, including guides, videos and live support via email, by phone at 905-653-READ (7323) or through social media on Facebook (facebook.com/vaughanpl), Instagram (@vaughanpubliclibraries), Twitter (@vaughanpl) and YouTube.

While all in-library programs have been cancelled until 2021, there are still many services, programs and online options being offered to residents.
