On Saturday, the six entries were selected at the Regional Science Fair in Summerland.
Students from Kelowna to Osoyoos presented their projects at the fair.
Projects had earlier been shown at school district science fairs.

This is the second time Mansiere will be at the national science fair.
Jacqueline Mansiere of Summerland Middle School was selected for her project, An Eye for Colour.
Emily Mosely, a Summerland resident at KVR Middle School in Penticton, will bring her project, Au courant/ Eau courante? (What a waste.)

Raja Gupta, a science teacher at Summerland Secondary School and an organizer of the fair, said the students will continue to polish and enhance their projects before the fair.
