Science Rendezvous is an annual event that gets science into the local communities thanks to partners like the University of Guelph-Humber. Festival goers get a chance to participate in hands-on experiments and see amazing scientific demonstrations.

At the University of Guelph-Humber, student volunteers will lead activities including anatomy, neuroscience, health & fitness, new technology and forensic science. Attendees will have the chance to look at muscles, fat, the brain, heart and the lungs; assess fitness levels through interactive exercises; learn more about facial recognition, try out virtual reality and even explore a crime scene.

More than 300 Science Rendezvous festival events are taking place simultaneously in 30 cities across Canada on May 11.
