Workshops — Rough Science

Our Top 6 Holiday Workshops!

World’s Greatest Slime

Get hands-on with the gooey, stretchy, squishy science of slime! In this wildly popular workshop, kids become chemists and explore polymers, reactions, and the science behind everyday ooze.

Each child will create their very own batch of custom slime to take home, from fluffy to glitter to glow-in-the-dark.

This workshop is messy, sensory, and seriously fun!

Blood & Guts: Fake Wounds

Learn the science behind cuts, scrapes, bruises, and scabs — and how to make them!

Kids discover how the body heals itself, then use things from the kitchen to make realistic (and gross!) fake wounds. Along the way, their own story about how the wound was made, and learn about skin, veins, arteries, and blood.

It’s biology meets theatre, with a big dose of creative science and a splash of “eww!”

Launch Lab: Water Rockets

Take science sky-high with this explosive outdoor session!

Using recycled bottles and bike pumps, kids launch rockets metres into the air while exploring Newton’s laws of motion. We’ll find out about air pressure vs. water pressure, and the perfect mix to get the highest rocket.

Expect splashes, laughter, and serious science in action.

The Great Earthquake Challenge

Shake, rattle and build!

In this engineering challenge, kids must design and construct buildings that can survive an earthquake … then test them on THE EARTHQUAKE MACHINE.

Learn about why buildings stand up, why they fall down, and the geology of natural disasters.

Tiny Circuits

Power up lights and turn on switches in this hand-on activity.

Kids will find out about the basics of batteries and build on that knowledge and use LEDs, resistors, and transistors to create circuits. We’ll be using our safe circuit building system, with 9 volt batteries, and no soldering required!

Go from simple circuits to more complex electronics, and find out how our world is powered.
