About

Toronto Science Fair 2019 was a huge success, with over 500 students displaying their work from across the city. Our projects also were awarded prizes at the Canada Wide Science Fair held in Ottawa, Ontario. Plans for the 2020 Toronto Science Fair are underway. We welcome past participating schools to this year’s fair. In addition, we encourage entries from schools that have yet to participate in our event.

If project based science and technology is part of your school’s curriculum, or if you have students who may be interested in doing a project independently, please go to our website at www.torontosciencefair.ca for additional information. Information about developing inquiry-based learning projects in your classroom via Toronto Science Fair can also be found at this site.
