More youth programs

Presented annually by the Ontario Science Centre, the Weston Youth Innovation Award was created to encourage and recognize young Canadian innovators.

We're looking for individuals or groups who:

are between the ages of 14 and 18
have used science and/or technology as the basis for developing creative and innovative ideas aimed at solving real-world problems
put their ideas into action, and as a result, have had a positive impact either in their own community or on a broader scale.

In addition to cash and other prizes, the winner's work and ideas will be showcased in the Weston Family Innovation Centre at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, in order to inspire other youth to think, work and collaborate in new ways.

The Weston Youth Innovation Award is generously supported by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation and is administered by the Ontario Science Centre
