Hang out with our education team as they amaze you with some stunning interactive science you can really get into.
- Enjoy a liquid nitrogen ice cream treat – because who wants to wait for ice cream to cool in the freezer? Watch what happens in just one minute thanks to science and liquid nitrogen.
- Give yourself a whole new look in a photo with the Van de Graaf generator – It tingles, it crackles, and it makes your hair stand on end! Touch it and see! Try (if you dare) and capture it in a photo!
Montréal-based games publisher MJ Games will be with us too! Play with the family as the MJ Games team introduces you to popular educational board games like Kluster Duo and the award-winning game D-Code.
Explore strategy, math, geometry, and magnetism… an opportunity to discover fun new games you can play with the family.
Tristan Demers is the illustrator behind the comic books Gargouille and Club Licornes. His live show, Dessiner, c’est facile, stirs the imagination of young audiences as he shares his passion for drawing.
Using the Funny Creatures exhibition as your inspiration, help Tristan invent and draw funny, fantastical, or totally far-out animals.
Two shows: 11am and 1pm
Presented in French, but very visual and easy to follow for English-speaking audiences.
On your marks, set, draw! Tristan will take you step by step through the comic book character creation process.
Learn to draw by playing and learn to animate a new character with tricks from the comic illustrator’s toolkit: panels, speech balloons, ideograms, onomatopoeic sound effects…
Start time 2:30pm – in French only
Top up a fun day filled with science and wonder with some comfy cozy breaks. The Desjardins Zone is a friendly, cushy space where you can spend time together and think about future family projects and adventures.
