  • MOTIVATION

    CKSTEM is motivated to prepare Canadian students so that they can help Canada to become a world leader in science and technology. To achieve this goal we have built a partnership with Singapore International Mastery Challenge Center (SIMCC) in Canada. SIMCC is one of the largest academic contests organizers in Asia to groom and identify talent. We are committed to offering more opportunities for all students to gain international recognition through academic competitions. As a result of this new partnership, we will offer several English, Informatics, Mathematics, and Science contests for grades 2 to 12 students. In the coming months, we will be able to provide exciting opportunities to the kids to not only shine locally but to exhibit talent internationally with scholarships and specialized training in science and math as well.

    To continue with this exciting journey, we are offering all our students an opportunity to participate in the SASMO Contest. The top 40% of the participants will receive an award certificate and a medal.  All winners are invited to compete at STEAM AHEAD 2022 – Global Finals.

    A SPECIAL OFFER

    The Competitive Kids STEM (CKSTEM) is joining hands with Singapore's non-profit organization, Scholastic Trust (Singapore) Limited (STS), to provide opportunities to young students in Canada. We are also happy to work with SIMCC, as it donates 20 percent of its annual revenue from academic competitions to STS to support initiatives like this.
    We are excited to announce that we offer a package of 4 Global STEM Olympiads for a nonprofit price of just 100 CAD if you enroll by October 15th 2022. The suggested cost of this package is over 160 CAD. We are able to reduce costs for you as we don't make any profit. We only charge for the cost involved in running these contests. 
    To reduce administrative costs, we only offer these olympiads as a package of 4 contests to the individual participants. We will not offer individual contests directly to the students. If any school is interested in participating, we can help them participate in individual contests if they have more than 25 students.

  • REFUND POLICY

    The contest fees paid by students to Competitive Kids STEM for hosting competitions are non-refundable. To be allowed to host these contests, our organization pays a fee to the various external organizations that own these competitions. It is a significant amount of time and resource investment, not to mention the various charges paid for processing these payments to the external organizations, various third parties and financial institutions.


    As a nonprofit organization, CKSTEM operates in a very lean manner and limited resources to keep our operating costs low in order to make our offerings available at a much lower cost to the students. Hence, we will not be able to offer any refund for contest fees to students for withdrawals or cancellations beyond our control.

     If any student has been wrongly charged by CKSTEM, or we cancel an event due to reasons under our control and there are refunds provided to us from the external organizations, we will happily refund the fees paid by the students (deducting the processing charges).
