The Okanagan Shuswap Regional STEM Fair

In collaboration with WWEST,
at the University of British Columbia Okanagan,
planning has begun on our second annual Regional STEM Fair
tentative fair date is April 9,2027

The 2026 Regional STEM Fair had 45 Projects, 75 students, and 2 finalists traveled to the 2026 Canada Wide Science Fair!

The Okanagan Shuswap Regional STEM Fair is affiliated Youth Science Canada as a selection fair to attend the Canada Wide Science Fair.  The OSSTEM Regional Fair is open to students from grades 3-12, attending public schools, FNSA affiliated schools, Independent Schools, and home-schools, living within the region’s communities that correspond to School Districts 19, 22, 23, 53, 67, and 83.

Science/Technology fairs are a chance for students to work on a project related to some aspect of science, typically an experiment, innovation or study.  The students’ work are presented at a science fair and are evaluated on scientific thought, originality, understanding, and the exhibit itself.

The best projects in each category are given awards and the best projects in the fair will move on to the Canada-Wide Science Fair, all expenses paid. CWSF 2027 will be held in Hamilton, Ontario from May 29th to June 5, 2027.
