Join us this March Break for an exciting combination of science and play! Explore a variety of fun activities and experiments that will spark your curiosity. Get creative at our giant cardboard play area, join us at the main stage for thrilling demonstrations, and meet special guests who will showcase fascinating projects and scientific research!

  • Cardboard extravaganza: Join us for our fourth annual Cardboard Extravaganza! Build towering structures out of cardboard blocks, create giant geometric sculptures, and work with others to create a miniature cardboard community!
  • Backyard brains: Join the Ottawa Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience for some surprising neuroscience activities to celebrate Brain Awareness Week. Try our Backyard Brains experiments, which allow you to control a robotic claw or another person’s hand using signals sent from your brain to your muscles! Test your reaction time, see your brainwaves on a computer, and learn more about touch, taste, and smell.
  • Build with LEGO® bricks: Get ready to build, test, and unleash your imagination with our popular LEGO® brick activities! Create your own masterpieces with free‑form building, shake things up on our earthquake platform, help construct a giant collaborative mural, and discover what your creativity can do.
