About

The York Region Science and Technology Fair, also known as YRSTF, is an exciting opportunity for youth in York Region to share their scientific research with their peers, community, and experts in their field.  Students have the opportunity to display their work, talk to experts in their field, and learn from each other. 

Since 2003, the YRSTF has been hosting the regional fair, providing an opportunity for students be selected to represent York Region and present their projects at the Canada Wide Science Fair.  

Since 2016, the York Region Science and Technology Fair has been hosted in partnership with York University on the York University Campus.
