Visit our Information booth for general information and guidance on various activities available to all participants.

We will be demonstrating various aspects of psychological science, spanning brain, perception, and cognition. 

Presented by the Department of Psychology at TMU

Use X-ray vision to take pictures inside the body to study the lungs. Using these pictures, you can see healthy and diseased parts of the lungs.

Join us for engineering outreach workshops and demos informed by Indigenous ways of knowing.

Presented by the Engineering Outreach Office at TMU

Learn about the impacts of AI on climate change. These effects include energy consumption, water usage, mining of rare metal, and associated ecological impacts.

We compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (external link)  as a competitive high school robotics team. Come experience hands-on control and test drive our 120 pound robot at our booth. We'll have LEGO robots ready to program and complete mission for those interested in programming. We will be providing parents and anybody else who wants to get engaged with information regarding STEM initiatives.

The team will bring one of there robots that has competed in the First Robotics Competitions (external link) . They will explain the workings of it - how it was designed, built, programmed and driven. They will have videos to show of comps on their computer. They will also have interactive activities, such as EV3s, LEGO and more for people to try!

This booth is restricted to Science Rendezvous event volunteers.

Learn about the vast scale of the solar system and the intricate dynamics of the Earth-Moon system. Engage in an interactive challenge as we test your knowledge on the distances between planets within our solar system.

Presented by the Department of Physics at TMU

Visit our booth to discover whirligigs, a versatile toy that has inspired an innovative and cost-effective method for centrifuging blood. Engage in our interactive art-and-activity about how do X-rays work. Build a magnetic battery train with magnets through a copper coil.

Sound to hear:

Immerse yourself in our booth's engaging listening activity, where you'll explore a spectrum of frequencies from low to high until you reach your personal frequency maximum. 

Sound to see:

Go above 20 kHz (ultrasound), and use an ultrasound scanner to generate sound waves in order to view objects (e.g., rubber duck) in a water bath. These interactive demonstrations will enlighten you about how ultrasound serves as a method to visualize our inner body using sound waves.

Come and view our gallery wall with some of the events and projects ArtSci hosts at TMU. 

Learn about our projects concerning road salts, microplastics in water, Jet Ice (external link) , and more!

Presented by the Urban Water TMU

Explore the fascinating world of food science and soft materials! Learn how ingredients like proteins, fats, and emulsifiers come together to create the textures and flavours we love. Try hands-on experiments to see how gels, foams, and emulsions form, and discover the science behind your favorite snacks. From stretchy cheese to creamy peanut butter, find out how science makes food fun and delicious!
