The University of Guelph-Humber in collaboration with Science Rendezvous and Let’s Get Together invite the community to join the fun and innovate on Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Join us at this FREE one-day, all-ages, family festival that celebrates STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).
On May 10, the country’s biggest STEAM festival, Science Rendezvous, will be hosted in at the University of Guelph-Humber at Humber's North Campus along with other locations across Canada. Participants can explore an exciting line-up of interactive demonstrations, hands-on science experiments, presentations, and more. Parking is free.
This family festival takes STEAM out of the lab and into the community for everyone of all ages to discover and experience. Science Rendezvous is uniquely designed and coordinated by Canada’s scientists, innovators, and the next generation of creators.

Activities:
Event highlights this year include interactive activities exploring science, engineering, and technology. Come solve a crime with a virtual crime scene using VR equipment facilitated by the University of Guelph-Humber’s Justice Studies program. Explore the anatomy and function of the human body in our interactive displays and compare them to the anatomy of a computer. Find out how high you can jump and learn about physical fitness assessments with the Kinesiology program. Learn about optical illusions and the human brain through interactive activities led by the Psychology program. Join in an opportunity to learn about nature, trees and plant life with guided tours at Humber’s Arboretum. Come explore the skies beyond in an immersive experience organized by Astronomy in Action in an indoor planetarium. This year we are very excited to also be welcoming the Ontario Science Centre.
Join the Ontario Science Centre experts for exciting live demonstrations and fun hands-on activities! Use the power of friction and sound waves to make water “sing,” build a simple circuit with conductive and insulating playdough, or create an optical illusion that demonstrates persistence of vision.
