Hundreds of high school scientists show their smarts at Vancouver science fair
More than 250 projects will be on display at the Greater Vancouver Science Fair on Friday, the most submitted in the competition’s 43-year history.
Media are invited to attend the event and discover projects involving artificial intelligence, robotics, human physiology, pollution solutions and more. Media are also welcome to join a tour of the marine ecology lab.
The fair runs from April 9-11, and more than 200 volunteer judges will award gold, silver and bronze medals to the best projects in the junior, intermediate and senior categories.
Senior prize winners set to enter the UBC faculty of science in their first year will also have the chance to win UBC entrance awards of up to $2,000 towards admission. Seventeen students will be chosen to represent the greater Vancouver region at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton in May.
