High School Chemistry Contest
The chemistry department offers a contest involving annual written tests, based on the BC curriculum for Chemistry 11 and 12 students. All Chemistry 11 and Chemistry 12 students are invited to participate.
High School Math Contest
The TRU Mathematics and Statistics department hosts the British Columbia Secondary School Mathematics Contest. This contest is for anyone in BC high schools and has two sections: a junior section for grades 8 to 10 and a senior section for grades 11 and 12. The preliminary round is normally written in the secondary schools in early April. The final round is written in early May at TRU as the host institution.
Robotics Competition
June 9 and 10
Undergraduate Research Conference and Poster Day
Each year, upper level science students who have been working on research or projects at TRU are required to participate in a poster presentation day. Projects and presentation are judged by a team of professors and students and then graded based on the outcome.
This university-wide event has a history of being a rich and exciting opportunity for undergraduate students of all disciplines and backgrounds to present their research and other creative works, and to share their intellectual experiences and innovations with their peers in an engaging atmosphere. A wide variety of presentations are always welcome, including, but not limited to, oral presentations, art exhibitions, displays, research posters, and performances.
