Volunteer with APEGA

APEGA Science Olympics are interactive, inter-school events for students in Grades 1 to 12. Science Olympians use problem solving to develop solutions to a series of challenges that demonstrate how engineering and geoscience impact our everyday lives. Challenges are related to the Alberta school curriculum, and are developed by professional engineers and geoscientists, as well as local teachers.

The APEGA Vermilion River Branch is looking for enthusiastic volunteers interested in sharing their passion for engineering and geoscience at the 2023 APEGA Science Olympics – Vermilion River. This is a great opportunity to foster a love of engineering and geoscience in students, promote your profession in the community, and log Professional Development Hours with APEGA.
