 | |  | From Science Olympian to Professional Engineer Nick Wong, P.Eng., grew up in Calgary with an array of interests, a love of math, and a burning need to understand. His passion and curiosity could have taken him down any number of career paths, but he found his true calling when he attended the APEGA Science Olympics in Grade 9. Now a professional engineer, Wong gives back as a volunteer at the very same Science Olympics events that started him on his path.
Another generation begins its engineering and geoscience journey at the Calgary Science Olympics on May 23. | | BRANCH EVENTS
