The conference showcases work, projects, and activities from across the Science, Medical Studies and Engineering (SMSE) programs and in collaboration with other ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ initiatives. It is a lively festival of science featuring posters, installations, live demonstrations, challenges, and more!<\/p>\n<h3>Who can participate?<\/h3>\n<p>We encourage all students in any of the SMSE programs to get involved. If you were a student in an Integrative Project course, if you participated in an extracurricular club or activity, if you competed alone or in a team, or if you performed some other science research, then you likely have something to show at ScienceFest.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a faculty member who has acted as a supervisor\/mentor for science activities, we encourage you to inform your students of the opportunity to share their work.<\/p>\n<p>You we also accept student volunteers to staff the ScienceFest space and to act as curators and help guide visitors. [Curators can request a confirmation of volunteer hours]\n<h3>What can I present?<\/h3>\n<p>Being a typical science fair, the space is filled with a collection of kiosks showing posters, installations, and other creations. Visitors browse the exhibits at their own pace throughout the entire week, so it is expected that kiosks remain in place for the entire week and that they are interesting and engaging even if no member of the project is present.<\/p>\n<p>Large demonstrations or live competitions can be requested but are subject to space limitations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oral presentations with an audience cannot be accommodated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Robotics Hackathon<\/h3>\n<p>The ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Robotics Hackathon is a collaborative, interdisciplinary event running in conjunction with ScienceFest.\u00a0<strong style=\"font-size: 1.4rem\">Registration for the Robotics Hackathon is separate from ScienceFest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/roboticshack\/\">Click here for more information on the Robotics Hackathon!<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Our Sponsors<\/h3>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/dawsonc-ollege-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/dawsonc-ollege-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/dawsonc-ollege.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/space-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"SPACE\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/space-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/science-fest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/space.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be a part of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ ScienceFest 2026 May 11-15!
