Grown-Up Science Fair (2008)

On May 10th at the Victory Cafe, as part of the city-wide event Science Rendezvous, people from all over joined us to peruse science fair projects from a wide assortment of Toronto’s best and brightest.

Held for those people who found themselves reminiscing about the awesomeness that was their Grade 6 science fair (or maybe just wanted to include a little more Science in their lives), the evening was a rousing success. Over 200 people passed through the doors to check out strange and wonderful science projects, on topics ranging from the absorbency of beer coasters to the optimal way to construct a house of cards, and taste buds to black boxes. A great time was had by all, and we offer enthusiastic thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated, either by making a project or by showing up to take part in the proceedings.

A special thank-you to our science fair winners:

  • “Flubber” by Gillian Archibald
  • “Generate” by Stephanie and Preston Shorey
  • “The Walnut Project” by Barbara Browne

Thanks so much to our media sponsor NOW Magazine, to Science Rendezvous, and to the Victory Cafe.

Listen in on some of our conversations:

  1. Figuring out the Black Box.
  2. Teaching band, welding, and painting.
  3. A music producer talks about sound.
  4. Massage therapy and raising babies.
  5. Using the Breathalyser (okay, time to go home!)
