Science on Stage Canada wishes to recognize reward and bring together educators who have developed strategies, methods, materials, projects, or philosophies that have proven successful in their teaching situation. SoSC selects educators from all parts of Canada including provinces, territories and representatives of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Communities. International educators are invited to attend SoSC events.

There are two avenues to participate in SoSC activities:

Delegates are full participants in every aspect of this festival. You will share your successful and innovative ideas at the fair; contribute your perspective to the pedagogical discussions; and participate actively in the professional development opportunities. Delegates with exemplary projects may be funded by SoSC and/or our sponsors to attend SoSC. We encourage you to find funding sources in your province.

Observers are individuals who may represent a company or an institution (research, school, government, etc) who wishes to observe specific activities. He or she may visit for a period of time ranging from a full day to the whole duration of our event. Observers are not funded by SoSC.
