Science Fair Accelerator
The Science Fair Accelerator will help you take your science project to the next level. From background research to experimental design or testing your prototype, this 6-week program will show you how to apply sound scientific principles to your science project so you have a strong foundation and an exceptional project to present at your regional science fair.
The Accelerator program includes:
- Lessons based on the Canada-Wide Science Fair judging rubric
- Activities that apply what you learn each week directly to your own project
- Discussions with other STEM enthusiasts from around British Columbia and Yukon Territory
- One-on-one mentorship with experienced science fair judges who will help you apply weekly lessons and concepts to your own project and provide feedback from a judge’s perspective
What You’ll Learn
Scale and Scope
Intentionally framing and refining your topic will create a narrow, well-designed, coherent project.
Design Decisions and Justification
Your background research and hypothesis should inform every design decision of your project.
Real-World Application
Demonstrate, with evidence, that your project is applicable and plausible outside the fair.
Scientific Communication
Communication is a central pillar of your project, not a final step.
Limitations and Intellectual Honesty
Acknowledging limitations and sources of error strengthens your credibility with judges.
Strategic Awareness
Your job during the interview is not to impress judges, but to demonstrate deep understanding of your topic.
