SCIENCE RENDEZVOUS IS AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL THAT TAKES SCIENCE OUT OF THE LAB AND ONTO THE STREET!
Science Rendezvous is Full STEAM Ahead! Saturday, May 12, 2018, and you are invited to event sites across the country as we showcase the Art in Science. This FREE kick-off festival for Science Odyssey week will be the most fun your family will have with science all year!
Science Rendezvous takes science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) research and innovation out of the lab and onto the street for you to discover and experience. Stage shows, robotics, virtual reality, INVENTours, large-scales experiments and demonstrations, science buskers and Science Chase races are designed to delight and excite the young and the young at heart. Hands on experiments, make-and-take projects, and demonstrations will allow you and your family to participate, and really get in the action. Slime, liquid nitrogen ice-cream, fire tornados, walking on water, and explosions are some of our favourite activities!
This is just a friendly reminder that there is absolutely NO PARKING in the circular driveway at Owen PS.
The safety of Owen students is our first priority. Please respect our regulations. Everyone has a busy life and extenuating circumstances. Please plan accordingly to ensure all of our students arrive safely and ready for learning. Thank you for your consideration and continued support - especially our fantastic parent volunteers in the morning!
