Need Help Getting Started?

This year the Science Fair Foundation BC and the West Kootenay Regional Science Fair are offering important programs that will support students as they develop their science fair projects.

  • Free Workshop Series

    In this free How to Do an Awesome STEM Project workshop series we will help guide students through the science fair season. Together we will explore ideation, project setup, the scientific method, ethics and safety, analyzing results, and communicating findings in a clear and compelling way.

  • Financial Aid

    Created for youth looking for more financial support in their pursuit of STEM inquiry, the STEM Project Grant is inviting BC and Yukon students between the ages of 9 and 18 to apply for funding that will help them build their STEM project, or compete in a Science Fair Foundation BC event.
