Vancouver District Science Fair

Microsoft Teams & Langara College

The Vancouver District Science Fair is a hybrid fair — participants present their projects virtually on Microsoft Teams and in person at Langara College. Intended for students who attend public school in Vancouver (SD #39), VDSF serves as the official qualifying round for the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair (GVRSF).

GETTING STARTED WITH VDSF

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

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

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

Students — First, see if your question can be answered elsewhere on this blog. Next, ask your teacher sponsor or school’s VDSF contact.
