Mr. Geiger's Construction Class made 18 Planter Boxes for the Public Garden for the Town of Goderich. Contact the Town of Goderich if you would like to make use of one of these planter boxes.

GDCI sent 8 teams to the University of Guelph for the Annual Science Olympics. The Vikings were very successful bringing home 3 First Place Awards!

The GDCI Envirothon teams took home first and second at the Huron Perth competition and will be moving on to compete in the Provincial competition at the end of May. Way to go team!

A group of 23 GDCI students went to the Ontario Science Centre to attend the DNA fingerprinting program on Thursday, March 23. They learned about DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction, and gel electrophoresis. By the end of the program they were able to determine their genotype for the D1S80 locus and solve various problems using their new knowledge including DNA forensics and paternity testing. On their breaks they got to explore the Science Centre exhibits exploring all aspects of science from poisonous blue frogs to meteorites! This met the requirements for SHSM advanced training in a technology and experiential learning.
