Our goal is to make science fun and accessible; inspiring individuals to pursue STEAM.

  • Hosted 3 free science events for families on Vancouver Island
  • Distributed 1500 Passports to Science full of fun science challenges and discounts to STEM organizations
  • Collaborated with 17 STEM organizations from Victoria to Coombs​
