About the CWSF

Our showcase event

The Canada-Wide Science Fair is the largest extra-curricular youth activity related to science and technology in Canada, bringing together our best young minds. Each year, some 450 top young scientists are chosen to compete from the top ranks of approximately 25,000 competitors at over one hundred regional science and technology fairs staged across the country.

These elite participants compete in nine divisions and three age categories for medals and other prizes worth over $900,000.
