Ubisoft Montréal, the renowned video game company, has joined forces with Créativité Québec and CyberCap to bring you three activities where kids and kids at heart can learn side by side, share what they know and create lasting memories.
Ubisoft
Learn the basics of coding with a little help from the Rabbids in a friendly activity everyone can enjoy.
Créativité Québec
In the Lightning Solutions Lab a child and an adult team up to imagine an invention that makes daily life easier. Artificial intelligence then turns their idea into a personalized keepsake poster they can take home.

Is there really iron in your cereal? As much as in a nail? Find out with the Neurones atomiques team! Work as a family to make predictions, test them with a hands-on experiment and bust some common myths about food chemistry, all in a fun, breakfast-themed setting.
Ongoing activity, offered in French and English
Ages 5 and up
Ready for some friendly family competition? Try one of MJ Games’ many educational games, including the fan favourite Kluster. Will you go for strategy, math or magnetism? Either way, laughter is guaranteed! And you might just walk away with a new family favourite.

Don’t miss this: watch the blob wake up at noon and 2 p.m.
Ages 6 and up
Can a living thing make decisions without a brain or a single neuron? Meet the blob and find out!

What does it take to wake it up? Bring your questions to the BlobScience team, then stick around to watch the blob wake up, live!
