Meet the winners of the 2019 4-H Canada Science Fair
Do you have a curiosity about the world around you?
The 4-H Canada Science Fair is an opportunity for you to explore, experiment and discover! As part of our 4-H Canada Science Fair, 4-H youth plan, research, complete and submit science projects, independently or as pairs, to be judged virtually, in the hopes of moving to our in-person round and ultimately to the Canada-Wide Science Fair.
The 4-H Canada Science Fair is open to 4-H’ers in grades 7 to 12, or enrolled in CÉGEP.
Registration for the 4-H Canada Science Fair closed January 16, 2019.
How does the 4-H Canada Science Fair work?
Either by yourself or with another 4-H’er, you’ll explore a topic of your choice to create your very own 4-H Canada Science Fair project around. You’ll plan, research, build, experiment, test, analyze and do whatever it takes to complete your science fair project.
Virtual Round
You’ll develop and submit your project by January 16, 2019, as part of the virtual round. Your project then will be judged virtually between January 17 and 31, 2019.
In-Person Round
If you are successful in the virtual round, you’ll move on to the in-person round at the Dalhousie University Agriculture Campus in Truro, Nova Scotia from February 27 to March 3, 2019, where five members will be selected as winners.
Canada-Wide Science Fair
The five winners and their projects will be entered into the Canada-Wide Science Fair where they will compete against the best and the brightest from across Canada! The 2019 Canada-Wide Science Fair is happening in Fredericton, New Brunswick from May 11 to 18, 2019.
Developing your 4-H Canada Science Fair project
What interests you? Is there something you would love to test or invent? Do you have a question that you want to explore? Whatever it is, the sky is the limit for your 4-H Canada Science Fair project.
Here are some resources you’ll need:
Finding a mentor to help you with your project
You can use a mentor to help you develop your science fair project! A mentor can be anyone who works to support you as you develop your 4-H Canada Science Fair project. Whether it’s a teacher, a parent, a 4-H club leader, a senior 4-H member, or a professional working in Science & Technology, a mentor can help you with the challenging parts of your project.
Mentors could help you with things like:
- Securing work space (like access to a science lab)
- Helping you meet local experts in the field of your project
- Reviewing your work, asking questions, or encouraging you
Whether you are a 4-H Canada member or a possible mentor, make sure to complete the Member-Mentor Code of Conduct.
