Quebec Aboriginal Science and Engineering Association (QASEA)

We are a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote sciences and engineering to Aboriginal youth attending school in First Nations and Inuit Communities in Quebec. QASEA achieves its mission through the Aboriginal Science Fair Program.

The Quebec Aboriginal Science Fair Program includes six activities:

This annual event is held in a Québec aboriginal community or an educational institution since 1998.

The International Movement for Leisure Activities in Science and Technology (MILSET) is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation, which aims at developing scientific culture among young people. The MILSET Science fair is held every two years in a different country. An exceptional team at the QASF could participate representing Canada.
