Registration

Students must register with the assistance of their designated science fair teacher rep at their school.

Guidelines

Science fair project guidelines are set by Youth Science Canada. When planning a science fair project, students can choose from three project types:

• Discovery: Test a specific hypothesis using the scientific method.

• Innovation: Design and evaluate a new device, model, or approach in areas like technology or engineering.

• Creative: Explore science through imaginative ideas, creative design, and engaging presentations.

Students must also choose a challenge category that best fits their project. Categories reflect real-world topics such as health, environment, energy, technology, food systems, Indigenous knowledge, and sustainability.

Thank you to the students, teachers, mentors, and families who help make WSSF a success year after year!
