Vancouver District Science Fair 

Microsoft Teams & Langara College

The Vancouver District Science Fair is a hybrid fair — participants present their projects in both virtual and in-person settings. VDSF is intended for students who attend public school in Vancouver (SD #39). If you are a VSB student, keep reading as the info on this blog applies to you! If you are not a VSB student, please refer to the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair website or nearest regional science fair website instead.

GETTING STARTED WITH VDSF   

Find VDSF on Instagram (@vdsf.projects2025) and Linktree (https://linktr.ee/vdsf.projects).

If you are a student, find out how science fair works at your school first, especially if you are doing an independent project. Not sure who to ask? See this list of VDSF 2025 teacher contacts.

If you are a teacher, ask to join VDSF teachers on Microsoft Teams. Your department’s VDSF contact can connect you to the VDSF coordinator.

If you are a judge, read our info for judges and check your e-mail for an invitation in November.

QUESTIONS?    

Students — First, see if your question can be answered elsewhere on this blog. Next, ask your teacher sponsor or school’s VDSF contact. If neither of those help, e-mail VDSF at vdsfprojects@vsb.bc.ca and include your teacher sponsor and project partner. Questions related to ethics approval should also include the regional ethics reviewer (vdsfethics@gvrsf.ca) .

Teachers — Post your questions in the teachers group chat channel on the new VDSF Teams or send the VDSF coordinator a direct message.

Judges — Send inquiries to the Chief Judge at vdsfjudges@vsb.bc.ca.
