Elementary 1st cycle
Rock'n' Roll Marbles
School program
Tourbillon collects marbles. He adores games that make his marbles fall, turn, roll and spin! The longer the marbles roll, the happier Tourbillon is! He challenges children to build runs with various fun objects to make his marbles travel a long time!

Planet of the Senses
School program
We must send a robot on an exploratory mission to find a new habitable planet. Sensor, the Super Robot, has five senses but it must learn how humans need and use their senses, and learn about their limitations.
The educational program Planet of the Senses asks students to calibrate and train Sensor the Super Robot. Students will learn about their sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch, and explore how the five senses allow us to explore our environment and help us survive.

Secrets of the heart
School program
The heart—life's vital organ.
Students take a tour of the heart by doing various fun activities. They learn how to situate it in the body, listen to it with a stethoscope, and see how it's made inside. They even have a competition with it! They also discover the benefits of technology by observing a children's pacemaker and become aware of the importance of the heart, life's vital organ.
Length : 90 minutes
Shhh! It's story time
School program
The challenge? Make the sound effects and do the lighting for a native tale.
To prepare themselves, the students participate in different experiments to discover the main characteristics of sound and light. They have fun practising sound effects with a variety of objects and exploring lighting effects with different projectors. Everyone go to your station—let's add sound effects and light to bring Nahômo to life!.

Mysterious Machines
School program
Pulleys, gears, levers...
How do you combine these elements to create machines that will operate strange creatures? As a team, the students are called upon to follow a plan to assemble the mechanisms, perform tests, and dress the mechanisms as creatures specially designed with daily reusable objects and, finally, make it all work. Let's get to work!

Sos Radio
School program
An adventure to triffer your neurons.
Take your students on an expedition to Nunavut! As it's landing, your plane appears to have an unforeseen surprise: the electrical system fails. Nothing works at all! What do you do? All teams must get to work. Electricity must absolutely be produced with the resources available such as water, wind, bicylces and airplane engines to make the radio work to send the distress signal : S.O.S.!

The great debaters
School program
Stars and me
Phases of the moon, sky charts, UFOs… the sky has inspired a great number of beliefs and continues to raise a great deal of questions. This activity invites students to a great debate about the mysteries of the sky. Assembled in a large group, students are invited to answer three questions: Does the moon impact our behaviour? Has our planet been visited by extraterrestrials? Do the planets have an influence on our personality? Students are offered a chance to explore what science has to say about these questions to then build their arguments and defend their point of view during debate. Using their personal opinions and their debating skills, this activity aims to develop their critical thinking skills.
Length: 90 min.
Capacity: Two school groups/classes per workshop

Tech Up
School program
This program ties into the MEES Learning Related to Academic and Career Guidance (formerly guidance-oriented approach) and the practical component of Science and Technology (competency 1). It allows students to further their self-learning and to discover innovative technology-oriented career options. The careers showcased in this program are presented in collaboration with ChallengeU and OMsignal.
A start-up company has just been awarded a major contract to redesign the Old Port of Montréal’s Clock Tower Beach. This budding young team is highly motivated in establishing a tech career and this contract represents a tremendous opportunity.
How might the team offer visitors an improved and connected beach experience? Will it propose an innovative urban design or perhaps create smart clothing?
Team members must each contribute ingenuity and creativity towards developing a technological solution that will generate investments from new clients. This young team must ultimately build a solid business case to convince prospective clients to buy into their idea.
Does the team have what it takes?
Length : 90 minutes
Shock Wave!
New School program
Earthquakes are caused by the powerful movement of plate tectonics and their impact on human populations is extensive. Can your students create structures able to resist these earthly forces? Invite them to take on the challenge!
Divided into teams, students must first build a structure that meets specific standards and then test it on a plate that vibrates and simulates an earthquake. It’s their opportunity to discover the science behind these fascinating phenomena. This program addresses concepts from the progression of learning approach (Earth and Technology categories).
