NERD NITE
Long live the nerd!
A FREE event where nerds (and those who love them) get together to drink beer and give 20-ish-minute presentations to other nerds on subjects that are ostensibly of great interest to nerds. Past topics have included the chemistry of coffee, meat-eating plants, how drug use affects the musical brain, and bike-nomics. It's like the Discovery Channel—but live and with beer!
This is a 19+ event
2024–25 PA DAY AND HOLIDAY CAMPS
Get ready for an exciting journey of exploration and discovery with our PA Day program!
Join us as we blast off into outer space, dive deep into the vibrant animal kingdom, embark on tropical adventures, unravel the science behind art, uncover the secrets of motion, and dive into the world of engineering. With interactive STEM based activities, your kids will have a blast while learning about these fascinating topics in a fun and engaging way.
SCIENCE SUMMER CAMPS
Since 1987, Science North has been delivering English and French summer science camp experiences to children in communities across Ontario.
Science North offers children the opportunity to get hands-on with real tools, engage in modern science, and most importantly, socialize and have fun with friends! As STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) becomes increasingly more popular in the 21st century, it’s important for kids to enjoy science and the world around them. We hear over and over again from parents that we DO this and do it well.
NORTHERN NATURE EXCHANGE
Northern Nature Exchange is a learning environment that encourages people of all ages to appreciate nature and learn about the environment through observation, research, and responsible collecting. Bring in the items you've found in nature and trade them for things in our collection.
Based on the popular Nature Exchange at Science North and Rockhound Lab at Dynamic Earth, NNE allows visitors, children, and adults alike, to bring items they’ve found in nature and receive points to exchange for other natural items in the NNE collection.
Exchange things like rocks, shells, fossils, and pinecones. You can even exchange notes you made about plants or animals you observed in nature, or an art project about a thunderstorm!
Trading is based on points. We award you points for what you know about your item, what makes it different, and the quality of it.
The more you learn about your item, the more points you collect! Save your points in the database to save up and trade for a very special piece at a later date.
