Science Rendezvous returns May 11, 2024!

Science Rendezvous at the University of Toronto (St. George Campus) is one of Canada’s largest Science Rendezvous events! This year  the event is back at the 100 St. George St. location, bringing Science out of the lab and onto the street!  The festival will feature numerous exhibits that explore the theme INNOVATE and integrate science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and human ingenuity. This event offers visitors of all ages and backgrounds the chance to interact with world-class researchers, witness awe-inspiring demonstrations, partake in hands-on experiments and, above all, have fun while discovering science in a whole new way!

The Sci-Art Gallery will be back in 2024, along with other annual favourites like Science Chase, Science Fair, SR-Hacks, and the showcasing of research and interesting demonstrations from over 60 departments at the University of Toronto and other local Toronto organizations. These events will be inspired by everything from the vibrant shapes and colours of various living organisms to the graceful designs of aerodynamic vehicles to the stars and planets that paint our night sky.

Sci-Art Gallery – The Sci-Art gallery is an engaging and interactive exhibition. Not only will you be able to see the work of promising artists across Ontario but you will also engage with the authors themselves. Many artists also bring some of their goodies, so keep an eye on those! As a visitor, your opinion matters, and you will help us by voting for your favourite artist in our Sci-Art competition.

Science Fair – In this fair, students are given the opportunity to showcase their work alongside that of Canada’s leading researchers! Students with outstanding science posters will win funding for their classrooms! Funding that can help to enhance both the current and future scientific education of themselves and their peers. Students will get to think outside the box and creatively share their ideas through posters on what excites them as they research and present to our panel of judges consisting of prominent figures and University of Toronto researchers.

Science Chase – The Amazing Science Chase will create an opportunity for youth to dive into fields of S.T.E.A.M. through a series of science experiments that make up our obstacle course. Each workshop will challenge visitors as they navigate their way through to the end for a chance to win amazing prizes! Young scientists are encouraged to join us in this event as they must utilize their knowledge and know-how to accomplish this year’s mission.

SRHacks – SRHacks 2024 is a FREE introductory coding & engineering competition hosted by Science Rendezvous at The University of Toronto, running from April 8th to May 11th. We invite all Grade 6-8 engineering enthusiasts to develop innovative solutions to tackle real-world problems.
