Showcasing Indigenous Knowledge from the past 20 years
Since 1998, the Quebec Aboriginal Science and Engineering Association has been organizing the Quebec Indigenous Science Fair, an event aimed at promoting science and engineering among young Indigenous Peoples attending schools in First Nations and Inuit communities in Quebec.
Quebec Indigenous Science Fair
Each year, participating students enjoy an enriching experience both academically and personally. During the 3 day event, they engage with their peers and present their projects to judges and visitors. Some participants honour their heritage by presenting projects rooted in their culture, while others delve into topics such as forest fires or artificial intelligence.
