Youth Science Canada to host Science Fair

Youth Science Canada will bring the 63rd Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF), the country’s largest annual youth science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) event, to the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton from June 1 to 6, 2025. Nearly 400 student finalists from across Canada will showcase their innovative STEM projects and compete for more than $1.3 million in awards, scholarships and prizes.

“We’re excited to bring this celebration of youth innovation to New Brunswick for the first time since 2019,” says Reni Barlow, executive director at Youth Science Canada. “The Canada-Wide Science Fair offers a unique platform for Canada’s brightest young minds to share their discoveries and innovative solutions to real-world challenges while connecting with peers who share their passion for STEM.”

Student finalists will call the University of New Brunswick home for the week, with the historic campus hosting the project competition, exhibitions and ceremonies, as well as a variety of lab experiences and social activities.

“The University of New Brunswick is thrilled to welcome hundreds of the brightest young minds to the Canada-Wide Science Fair,” says Dr. Paul Mazerolle, UNB president and vice-chancellor.”This week is incredibly inspiring and holds significant connections to UNB’s robust programs and researchers in science, technology, engineering, and math. We are excited to host the thousands of New Brunswick youth who will visit the Fair and the STEM Expo.”

The week will begin with project setup and judging, followed by public viewing days on June 1, 5 and 6. During these days, visitors can explore the Project Zone, which features student projects, while the STEM Expo, available exclusively on June 5 and 6, offers interactive exhibits from more than 50 STEM-related organizations, companies, educational institutions, and government agencies.

For those unable to attend in person, Youth Science Canada offers a virtual component to the fair, allowing people across Canada and internationally to explore projects online and participate in digital activities. For more information visit cwsf-espc.ca.
