Let’s clarify – what exactly is a science fair?
At first glance, a science fair is a competition. Every year, more than 25,000 young scientists participate in nearly 100 regional science fairs throughout Canada. Many thousands more have competed at the local level to make it this far. At the regional science fairs, students showcase their research achievements and compete to represent their region at the Canada-Wide Science Fair. The best of those go on to compete at international science fairs.
