What is Science Rendezvous

Science Rendezvous stands as Canada's largest annual science festival, and we're thrilled to be a part of it! Each year, the University of Guelph-Humber invites families from our community to join us for an inspiring day filled with creative science-based activities and enriching learning experiences. Powered by the innovation and enthusiasm of the University of Guelph-Humber students, we design and present these engaging activities to ignite curiosity and passion in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math).

Attention Scouts and Girl Guides!

Scout Troops and Girl Guides of all levels will have an opportunity to work on their personal achievement badges at the event this year. Each youth will be given an activity sheet to help guide them to interactive learning stations. The activity sheets are designed by fellow Scouts and Guides, and available to anyone interested.

FREE TechCollect & E-waste Drive

The University of Guelph-Humber is happy to support Let's Get Together's (LGT) TechCollect & Ewaste Drive. Everyone is encouraged to bring their unwanted, broken electronic technology equipment, and devices including laptops, computers, tablets, printers, TVs, and phones to the event. LGT will assess, refurbish, and/or recycle computers safely to redistribute them back to the community for ownership at no cost. Batteries and printer cartridges are also accepted.

The goal is to help those in need access to technology while protecting our planet. For more information visit techcollectdrive.ca
