Go STEAM

The Museum of Science and Technology has partnered with the Ingenium Foundation to bring STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) to rural communities in eastern Ontario.

On Friday, November 27 (PA Day), we welcome them to the Stewart Community Centre, upper hall, 112 MacFarlane Street in Pakenham. They will be doing various experiments with youth which include:

10 a.m.  Chain Reactions 

Work together to design and build a machine where one action triggers the next in a creative chain reaction. Experiment with different materials, solve problems as a team, and see if you can keep the whole sequence moving from start to finish!

1 p.m.  Piece by Piece

Explore how simple shapes can come together to create colourful patterns and designs. Participants will experiment with geometry, symmetry, and creativity to make their own unique square to take home or add to a growing community artwork.

2 p.m.  Hidden Worlds: Under the Microscope

Discover a world too small to see! Use magnifiers and real scientific tools to examine creatures from land and sea, uncover surprising details in everyday things, and find out how scientists study the incredible variety of life on Earth.

Each session is one hour in length. There is space for 30 youth (ages 7-15 years old) in each session. Parents are welcome to stay but it's not mandatory. This is a FREE event!

Registration opens on Tuesday, November 17 at 10 a.m. Registration will be online using our new platform, ActiveNet. We encourage you to create your account now, prior to registration, to ensure a smooth registration process. When a program fills, you will be placed on a waiting list.

If you cannot make the event, please ensure you remove your child from the program online.
