For gifted Saint Lucian science students, the national avenue to showcase their skill is the Science and Technology Fair organized by the Ministry of Education with sponsorship from the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC). This year, LUCELEC contributed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) to the event that was held in March.

Saint Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) Managing Director Trevor Louisy has congratulated Gaius Hendrickson St Marie on being chosen as the LUCELEC Scholar for this year’s Student Programme for Innovation in Science and Engineering (SPISE). 

The sixteen year old is currently in Barbados attending the intensive four-week enrichment residential summer program for Caribbean high-school students. SPISE is an initiative of the Caribbean Science Foundation (CSF) whose mission is to help harness science and technology for the diversification of the economies of the Region.
