Virtual Science Fair Opportunity

Posted: April 27, 2020

As you are aware, our District had to make the hard decision to cancel our District STEM Fest events in Bathurst and Miramichi in March 2020.

 

We understand how hard our students and teachers worked to be prepared and were disappointed with the lost opportunity to showcase these amazing projects.  We encouraged and hoped that students would keep their project ongoing for future learning and showcasing.

 

An opportunity has arisen for grade 7-12 students if they wish to showcase their project virtually at a national level.  Youth Science Canada has announced a virtual fair for May 2020. They understand that many regional fairs were cancelled so this opportunity is open to any interested student from grades 7-12 (whether they were attending district/regional fairs or not). 

 

** Update:

Today, May 4, 2020, is the launch day for the Youth Science Canada (organizers of the Canada-Wide Science Fair) Online STEM Fair. 
Submission website:
 
Students across Canada, currently in grades 7-12, are eligible to submit their completed science fair project to this "low competition" online project board. The website is fairly easy to use and includes with a video help guide. No qualifying district or regional fairs are required for students to submit their projects. 
Projects will be judged and could receive regional and national virtual ribbons.
