Community Science Celebration

The theme of the Community Science Celebration (CSC) is to Discover the Science all Around You. The CSC is one week of community based science and technology activities culminating in a family science event hosted at a local community college, school or recreational centre. Activities normally include demonstrations, displays and activities tailored to the community. The focus is on the positive impact that science, technology and innovation has on the region’s economy and to foster relationships with community organizations and build community capacity to set the stage for ongoing science related activities.

Celebrations also encourage students to see value in science studies and consider science and technology career options. In addition, this event promotes local businesses involved in science and technology and brings the community together by showcasing science education opportunities, local industries and businesses, government agencies, schools and community organizations involved in science and technology. The Celebration includes the entire community and encourages people of all ages to participate.
