I don’t ever remember my school having a science fair. (From the UK).
Not once. I’ve seen enough on TV shows to get the idea but… yeah. We have a very different approach to education. No science fairs, and I am pretty sure no job fairs either? We occasionally had people come in to talk to us (Fire Brigade, two Soldiers, two nurses) but I think that was more about the teachers just wanting a morning off from teaching than thinking we should do a specific job. And no “bring your parent to school” day or “what does your parent do” day.
I’ve lived all across Canada and I never heard of science fairs here either. I thought it was a made up thing for movies for the longest time. It seems so bizarre. Job fair… we did have that but they were either all government officials from different branches or company people from school sponsors. Occasionally you’d have big local companies that would donate a ton of shit for a tax write off and then in some creepy weird Company Man shit the school would invite them to enlist students to join their work force.

The UK is very different to the US I am guessing?
