Inspiring Panel for International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Join us on February 11th, International Day of Women and Girls in Science, for an inspiring virtual panel with prominent Canadian women in science, technology, trades, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Heating Homes
Grab your calculators because we will be calculating the amount of heat necessary to keep a room warm and learning the math behind heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Compostable Plastic
We will be making compostable plastic and learning about some eco-friendly plastics that are not so eco-friendly after all.
Cleaning Copper and Rusting Nails
Grab your old pennies and nails because we will be cleaning copper and rusting nails while we learn about two opposite chemical reactions: oxidation and reduction.
Build a Zip Line
In this session, we will be making zip lines to transport small objects across a room! Learn about physics, friction, and the safety engineering behind these fast contraptions.
Visit a Tornado Lab
Have you ever experienced a tornado? Well now is your chance!
Edible Engineering Challenge
Join us for a special event that will explore the edible engineering behind gingerbread houses.
Mineralogy of Carbon
How can two minerals be made of the same atoms, yet look so different? We’ll discover the secret (and learn more about the fascinating world of mineralogy) as we build atomic models of both.
Polarization Art
Learn about light polarization and how light is used in modern technologies, like LCD screens and lasers.
Ink Chemistry
Learn about chemistry, pH, and acid-base reactions.
