Experience Research

Research isn't all about hands on experiments. The hardest part is the drafting of new ideas and the conception of new perspectives to solve a problem. The Ottawa Science Innovation Challenge is your chance to experience just that.

The Competition

OSIC is a great opportunity for students to experience firsthand what it's like to be a researcher in the field of science. Students will be presented a health-related case that is relevant to the Canadian population. Participants will have the choice to compete alone or in teams of 2 or 3.  No lab experience or technique required. It takes creativity and critical thinking to piece together a new idea based on existing literature and offer a new perspective to tackle key medical problems.

Eligibility

All grade 11 & 12 students attending a Canadian high school will be able to participate in this year's Ottawa Science Innovation Challenge. OSIC is proud to be offered in both French and English. Students will have the option to submit a proposal/poster and be judged in any of their preferred language.
