Why:
To support young scientists across BC and the Yukon - the STEMCELL Science Fair Fun Run is an engaging and fun way to spread the word that BC has some of the most talented youth in the world. All of the proceeds from the event will go to The Dr. Michael Smith Science Fair Endowment to support the BC Science Fair Program.
Your participation in the annual STEMCELL Science Fair Fun Run ensures the success of future Science Fairs in BC and allows our youth to gain the skills they need to succeed in a fast-paced, knowledge-based world. The STEMCELL Science Fair Fun Run is the main fundraising event for Science Fairs in British Columbia. By supporting the event, your organization can help ensure that students have the opportunity to share their ideas, curiosity and enthusiasm for science activities at local, regional, national and international events.
Science Fairs work because they capture the energy and enthusiasm of youth by taking science beyond the classroom and into the exciting realm of chared discovery and recognition. By building life skills and confidence, and by introducing participants to mentors, Science Fairs motivate students to become future leaders in science, technology and knowledge-based industries.
Who:
Build a team and join the race! Gather your family, friends, and coworkers to join efforts to support BC's future scientists and engineers. Register your team of five or more for the 5K, timed Fun Run or take it slower with the 1K Mini Run. Team members can select either option.
The STEMCELL Science Fair Fun Run is a family-oriented event that features Team BC's Award-winning Science Fair projects, giveaways, and prizes. The event attracts youth, educators, parents, science professionals and enthusiasts, and technology industry leaders alike.
