LUMINARIUM

• INDIGENOUS WAYS OF KNOWING SCIENCE

Science is traditionally taught and learned from a Western worldview. But there are many ways of knowing and connecting through knowledge and with science.

• ON NOW
• In the DIG

Get immersed in a pixel playground with TELUS Spark Science Centre’s newest digital experience, Quantum Sandbox.

• HIP HOP WELLNESS PROGRAM

The Many Nations, One Voice for Wellness program celebrates the voices of traditional Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers, professional scientists, Hip Hop artists and youth leaders, as they come together in a circle to share stories and perspectives on vaccines in the context of health, respect, community, empathy and traditional medicine.

• INFINITY DOME

James, a traveling penguin from the South Pole, and Vladimir, a funny bear from the North Pole, meet on the ice of the Arctic sea. They become friends, talk about the regions they come form and observe the stars together, wondering why the night is so long at the poles of the Earth.
