What is the Let's Talk Science Challenge?
The Let's Talk Science Challenge is a free team-based STEM/science competition that encourages students in Grades 6-8 to learn about new STEM topics and show what they learn in an exciting, supportive environment. The Grand Finale competition with a quiz and engineering challenge is held in person at several locations across Canada, and online for everyone. Online learning resources and practice events keep the excitement going as you gear up to the big day.
Preparation for the competition is important. Students can work in teams or individually to explore STEM concepts provided in the Study Handbook prior to the competition. Let’s Talk Science also offers practice quizzes and design and build challenges beginning in February.
