Walker’s Hosts Junior Project Symposium

Junior Project Poster Symposium

On Saturday, September 26, Walker’s hosted the first of two Junior Project Poster Symposiums for the 2020-2021 school year. This year, the event took place outside under tents, where 33 students presented their projects and shared their experiences with the School community. Many of our students faced incredible challenges completing and creating their projects during the COVID-19 crisis and some were unable to present last spring due to distance learning. The projects were impressive, creative, thoughtful, and inspiring! We honor the following student presenters:
