Judges Recruitment

Judges are now being recruited for Canadian sciences fairs that are scheduled to take place in March, April and May, 2011. As it stands, approximately 25,000 students participate in over 102 regional science fairs across Canada every year. These events represent great opportunities for young Canadians to explore potential careers in science and technology, and give them the opportunity to meet and discuss their project with real professionals.

If you would like to be part of this exciting time among young scientists, here is a list of the science fairs across Canada.
 
Each link provides more information about how the fair operates. To register as a judge at a particular fair, simply contact the person in charge. Please let us know if you decide to register as a judge at synapse@cihr.gc.ca. We would like to keep track of the activities our mentors take on!

We've also attached a copy of our new CIHR Synapse Pocket Guides - A Guide for Researchers Judging a Science Fair [ HTML | PDF (652 KB) | Help ]. It was produced in collaboration with Youth Science Foundation Canada. We hope that you will find it useful.

Thank you for your interest in Canada's next generation our young scientists!
