The hallways and classrooms of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus were packed with science buffs Saturday.
On May 13, KPU hosted the fifth annual Science Rendezvous at KPU Langley and on a rainy day, the event attracted hundreds of visitors, many of whom were families with young children.
During the day, KPU transformed into a family-friendly science festival that featured hands-on experiments, magic shows, interactive science labs, activities, arts and design, music, tours of the campus’s high-tech patient simulator nursing labs, and its state-of-the-art craft brewing lab.
Highlights included:
• a chemistry magic show;
• dancing fire display in the physics room;
• robots on tracks, telescopes and vibrating strings;
• a tour of the school’s brand new, state-of-the-art Brewing Lab where student-brewed beer were available for sampling for visitors 19 years old and older;
• the opportunity to make seed bombs and newspaper pots, play with puzzles, learn cryptography, and see some math tricks;
• a horticulture bug lab and races;
• a ‘Creative Station’ tent with art activities
• Water science activities.
