Sponsorship
Velocity is free for students because organizations back it. In 2026 that was Service Canada and Ocean Wise.
2026 partners
Thank you to Service Canada and Ocean Wise for backing the first Velocity.
Why organizations partner with us
Meet students in person
Velocity 2026 put more than 180 high school students, and judges and mentors from UVic, UBC and SFU, in one building for a day.
Keep it free
Sponsorship covers the costs that let every team enter without paying.
Back ocean conservation
The case is about the ocean, and the top five teams keep working on their ideas afterwards.
Get credited
Partners are thanked at the event and on Velocity’s website and Instagram.
