ATTENTION PARENTS, EDUCATORS and SUPPORTERS!

The Science Fair Foundation BC is here to help youth refine their innovative ideas and showcase their solutions to industry, academia and investors as a part of the Youth Innovation Showcase. If you know any young innovators from the province of BC or the Yukon who are between the ages of 12 to 24, we want to hear from them!

Youth/Young Adults from all areas of BC and the Yukon are invited to take part in monthly virtual mentorship workshops, Founder Talks and site tours. We’ve brought together experts from different innovative industries to answer questions and help them succeed! Over the course of the year, participants will refine their ideas, products and pitches and submit them as a part of the 2021 Youth Innovation Showcase for a chance to win one of three $5,000 awards!
