Frequently Asked Questions

For 2023, we are running at reduced capacity while we build for next year. It may take several days for us to respond to your email.

No. Our mentors are from all across BC, and sometimes from across Canada. They can help you better understand your subject or provide feedback if you’re stuck, but they may not be from your area and won’t be able to get you access to a lab or equipment. 

There’s no limit to how many questions you can ask our mentors, but you should make a good effort to figure things out on your own first. Our mentors are here to help you when you’re stuck or you need some advice from an expert in your field of study. Don’t be afraid to ask a question, but make sure you can demonstrate that you’ve put in some hard work already. Your question(s) should be focused and organized, and you should provide enough information about your project that your mentor has a good understanding of what you need.

Our mentors are only able to help students who are already developing a science fair project. At the very least, you should have your hypothesis and your project design before reaching out to a mentor. Your mentor will NOT give you an idea for a project, and will NOT develop your science fair project for you. They are here to help you if you run into problems.

Questions should only relate to your science fair project. Your mentor probably won’t know the details of your specific science fair. For questions specific to your science fair, reach out to your regional science fair committee. Click here to see a list of regional science fair committees and their email addresses. 

All questions relating to our Mentorship Program can be sent by email to mentorship@sciencefairs.ca.
