Team Thames Valley Ottawa 2018 Signing CWSF
Canada Wide Science Fair for Students
OFF TO THE CWSF
The trips to the Canada Wide Science Fair are the premier awards at the Thames Valley Science & Engineering Fair. This is a life-changing experience for some students. Up to 10 students may attend from TVSEF.
ORIENTATION
The winners and their parents will meet with the Adult CWSF Delegates on the Sunday following our fair, once they have picked up their awards. You will be given important information about the fair and the kinds of experiences you will have while you are there. The delegates will be supporting and guiding you throughout the registration and preparation process.
PROJECT REVIEW
We will arrange for several professors to meet with you to give you suggestions on how you can raise the standard of your project to the CWSF level.
In addition, the delegates will be providing more detailed information regarding CWSF registration and other important preparation you will need to do. Bring your project and logbook.
Date: Tuesday 26 March 2024
Time: 4:30 pm
Place: Physics & Astronomy Room 26..
POSTER
All finalists will update their poster to adhere to the format required by CWSF. This will be explained in the project review session on March 26th. Poster guidelines and templates will be provided. The delegates will be reviewing the posters before printing for errors and other issues.
Backboard
Note: there are several other supporting pdf docs regarding posters that the finalists will have access to when preparing for CWSF
LOGBOOKS
Logbooks are a requirement for CWSF. Logbooks are a record of how you did your experiment/research/innovation. It is sometimes called a research notebook. It must be kept from the beginning of the process through to the end. It is not a polished report.
Please see more information about how to keep a logbook here:

PIZZA AND POP
There will be a pizza and pop party at the home of a delegate or committee member for the finalists going to the CWSF. This is an opportunity for you to get to know each other and finalize details about the trip.
EMAIL
Check your email at least twice a day. You will receive many messages, that all require a very fast response.
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE EXAMINATIONS
International Baccalaureate Examinations are scheduled by the IB organization, who do not allow any changes whatsoever. Students who have to take IB exams during the week of the Canada Wide Science Fair cannot attend the CWSF.
