Eastern Ontario

We are now accepting applications for the 2010 SABC competition. The application deadline will be October 31, 2009.

This is a great opportunity to try out your science ideas in a real lab setting! Win prizes of $$$$ cash, entrance scholarships, summer research positions and more!

Students are requested to submit their project ideas and to identify a mentor that they would like to work with. Mentors can be found by searching sites such as the Universities and National Research Council Canada to find who’s doing research in your area of interest.

These sites are also great for exploring some of the research going on in the region to help you think of a project idea. If you are having problems, be sure to ask me the regional coordinator, and I will try to help you find a mentor to work with.

Students will begin their research projects as soon as they are approved. You may work alone or in pairs of 2 individuals. Due to local lab requirements, students must be 15 years old to participate. You must keep a lab book (be sure to review the format requirements).

This year’s regional competition will be held in April 2010 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

Please make sure you review all of the competition rules under the Student & Teachers tab.

Most of all, be sure to work hard and HAVE FUN!
