From May 19 to May 21, thousands of Canadians engaged in education and the future of Canada will gather for what will likely be the single largest STEM-based online gathering in the history of our country. Held 59 times since 1962, Canada-Wide Science Fair ‘Ottawa 2021’ will take place entirely online and with an open invitation to all Canadians to join in on the adventure to the heart of scientific exploration and STEM education. With registration now closed and only one week remaining until the fair opens to the public, exactly 374 young students from every province and territory, grades 7 to 12 and Cégep, are now in final preparation mode to showcase their STEM projects to, well, all of us.
