The Canadian Science Fair Journal (CSFJ) is an open-access, non-academic publication for children and youth that showcases articles from youth in Canada aged 12-18. Through a safe and fun simulated publication process led by post-secondary student mentors, young authors learn to communicate their experiences leading science projects while developing critical scientific writing skills.

The CSFJ is not a peer-reviewed academic journal.

Our submission period for 2024-25 is now CLOSED.

Thank you to all who submitted!

EXTENDING THE PROJECT BEYOND THE SCIENCE FAIR TO A COMMUNITY OF YOUNG MINDS STRETCHING FROM COAST TO COAST TO COAST.

““The future belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it, and turn it inside out.””

“My editor was so helpful and kind, she made the editing process super easy and interesting. The CSFJ is now an essential part of the CWSF and school experience in Canada.”

~ Bruce Porter, CWSF 2019 Gold Medallist

“I regularly use The Canadian Science Fair Journal in my Grade 3 science class. We enjoy reading about the research being conducted by students from across the country, and I love seeing how this sparks a love for science in my own students.”

~ Cindy Bennell, Grade 3 science teacher
