REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
Do you love science and have questions about how processes around us work? Do you have an idea on how you could help improve a problem in the world? We call all students from Grades K-12 in the Fraser Valley region (Langley, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Hope, Mission, and Maple Ridge) to design a science fair project and positively affect our world through scientific discovery!
Each year the Fraser Valley Regional Science Fair invites students from the public, private and home schools in the region to present. Students can participate as a class, group or individually. At the regional level students compete for thousands of dollars in cash and prizes including the chance to join Team BC and represent the Fraser Valley at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, all expenses paid.
The Canada Wide Science Fair is being held in Edmonton, Alberta May 14-19, 2023 with some virtual elements to welcome visitors from across Canada. The Fraser Valley Region will be working towards sending our finalists to Edmonton to compete in person in 2023, so stay tuned for updates!
