 | |  | Inspiring the Next Generation of Engineers and Geoscientists Starts With You Every December, we’re reminded how much showing up matters. Through APEGA’s Science Olympics events, that spirit comes to life in a celebration of curiosity and creativity.
This February in Edmonton and May in Calgary, more than 1,200 young minds will explore how science shapes the world around them, with guidance from volunteers who make the event possible. When you lend a hand behind the scenes, your support helps spark a lifelong passion for STEM. Teachers, parents, and community leaders are invited to register a team and help students experience the excitement of hands-on learning.
As we head into the holiday season, consider giving the gift of your time and expertise. Sign up today to volunteer or register a team for the 2026 APEGA Science Olympics.
