STEM-Tastic Experiments from the CAGIS Teen Ambassadors
In this totally hands-on event, led by our own CAGIS Teen Ambassadors, you’ll participate in an engineering challenge to design a buoyant foil boat, test your own sense of taste, and make a DIY lava lamp
Build a Solar Oven
With just a few household items, we will build our own solar oven, which can be used to make s’mores, nachos, and more!
Enter the Space Lab
Join us and be part of a space science team for the day!
Get Electrified!
Together, we’ll learn about voltage, current, circuits and more, and try out our own electrical experiment.
Elephant Toothpaste and Chemical Reactions
In this session, we’ll be whipping up our own batches of colourful elephant toothpaste.
Gardening from Table Scraps
At this session, we’ll tackle a project that can help you save money, cut down on food waste, and develop a green thumb.
Liquid Rainbows and Non-Newtonian Fluids
In this session, we will explore the amazing properties of fluids. We will stack colourful liquids in a jar to make a rainbow. Then, mix a gooey batch of oobleck to learn more about non-Newtonian fluids and why viscosity matters to research and development chemists when designing a new lotion or shampoo.
Start Your Engines: Motive Power
Learn about opportunities in trades and develop your mechanical skills with a fun hands-on activity. We’ll be building our own rubber band powered model car!
Foldable Flyers: Making the Ultimate Paper Airplane
In this hands-on, high-flying session, earn your wings with an aerospace engineer and pilot who will teach you how to use the four principles of aerodynamics to create a paper airplane that soars.
Follow your Heart
In this session, you will discover different ways to take your pulse, and do a personal experiment to learn your own resting and recommended maximum heart rates.
