LIGHT UP THE NIGHT

with

CHEMISTRY IN THE DARK!

Our next Chemistry Magic Show will be part of Science Rendezvous, a national day of celebration of science in Canada and activities to inspire young people to be enthusiastic about science. This year it will be Saturday, May 12 and CUOCO will be hosting our first ever outdoor Chemistry Magic Show at night! We will light up the sky and do things we can’t do indoors!

TIME, LOCATION, and COST:

We are tentatively planning to have the show at the outdoor amphitheatre between Southam and Paterson Halls and the MacOdrum Library. The amphitheatre can comfortably hold about 300 people. There are no tickets and all the activities are free! The show will start at dusk (approximately 8:30 p.m.) and we will have some hands-on activities starting at 7:30 p.m.
