The CWSF-ESPC 2013 was in Lethbridge

3 of the 4 Lethbridge Winners CWSF 2013

The Canada Wide Science Fair came to Lethbridge. Imagine the energy from 481 young Canadian scientists, 340 expert Judges, 165 Delegates, 3750 visitors (many were school children) and 200+ dedicated volunteers.  For many of us, it left an indelible image of just how smart and positive youth can be.  My role was greatly aided by Dr Marc Roussel, Dept of Chemistry and by Mr Dominic Mudiayi, former laboratory colleague.  The University of Lethbridge was the host for the CWSF. The UoL showcased its campus and placed it firmly on the map for the next generation of Canadian scientists and engineers.  The entire CWSF was major operation run by Youth Science Canada, the National Judging Committee and the Local Host Committee, who had an addition role in leading the regional science fair. It was a lot of work, but clearly the future of science benefits from this effort.  To learn more about the projects presented at the CWSF, visit the virtual CWSF website and see the  winners.

Canada Wide Science Fair in Lethbridge 2013

The Southern Alberta Technology Council and the University of Lethbridge are hosting the Canada Wide Science Fair 2013.  During 11-18 May 2013, 400 of Canada's finest school aged children will present their science projects to expert judges. Based upon previous national, regional and local sciences fairs, we are expecting another eye-opening and impressive week of science.  The students have tremendous energy and imagination that they channel into projects about astronomy, chemistry, information technology and biology.  I am the local Chief Judge responsible for organizing a 400 member judging team that must meet the standard set by Canada's best students.  The stakes are high.  We must nuture a young scientific spirit while choosing the best projects that will share $1,000,000 in prizes and scholarships.

If you would like to be a judge and you have a science or technology background and live within driving distance (AB, BC, Sask), please contact me. 

If you want to support everyone's future, support Youth Science Canada:

And in any case, mark your calendars so that you can meet Canada's best in Lethbridge.
