This year\u2019s edition will also feature a co-hosted event, a joint effort by Kativik Ilisarniliriniq and the Cree School Board, which will take place in Kuujjuaraapik and Whapmagoostui on March 18, 19, and 20, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis event has a trickle-down effect. Initially, students exhibit their projects at their school. Those selected then travel to the provincial event. Over the years, we\u2019ve seen more one-person teams participate. It\u2019s clear our students have gained confidence in their own personal projects and exhibits,\u201d Marc Lalande, President of QASEA.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;10\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]Each year Kativik Ilisarnilirniq schools host their own local science fairs. Students of all ages organize and present their science projects, with a total of 5 projects from across Nunavik selected to proceed to the province wide event. During the Quebec Indigenous Science Fair (QISF), the selected participants exhibit and share their projects. Up to four high school-level projects are then chosen to attend the Canada-Wide Science Fair (CWSF), a pan-Canadian event that unites over 500 students from across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany students will focus on projects tied to their heritage. It\u2019s fascinating because they take what their ancestors started-the tools they developed-and create a scientific approach to explain their heritage and traditions. These are not projects; students choose topics that resonate with them, and that\u2019s what makes it so interesting,\u201d explains Marc Lalande, President of QASEA.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"pic-slider-simple-module\">\n    <div class=\"slider-box\"  data-aos=\"fade\" data-aos-delay=\"0\">\n                    <div class=\"slide-in\">\n                <div class=\"img-box\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kativik.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190327-sciencefair-day2-credit-jadeduchesneaubernier297-1000x1000.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"slide-in\">\n                <div class=\"img-box\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kativik.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/innalik-432773160-870907655047126-8626425094766950480-n-1000x1000.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"slide-in\">\n                <div class=\"img-box\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kativik.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/jaanimmarik-433898724-1138603644117531-3012624363043314279-n-1000x1000.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"slide-in\">\n                <div class=\"img-box\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kativik.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/nuvviti6-1000x1000.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;10\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]The Quebec Aboriginal Science and Engineering Association (QASEA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting science and engineering to Indigenous youth in First Nations and Inuit communities in Quebec.
