KPU Langley Campus
20901 Langley Bypass, Langley
On May 10, Kwantlen Polytechnic University will host our second annual Science Rendezvous at the Langley campus. KPU Langley will be transformed into a spectacular science experience where the public will get a chance to participate in hands-on experiments, walk through interactive science labs and state-of-the-art greenhouses and see a demonstration of the high-tech patient simulators in the nursing labs. Free to the public!
Science Rendezvous is a public platform to promote science awareness and increase science literacy in Canada. The event is an annual day-long festival spanning multiple simultaneous sites across the country, designed to bring science face-to-face with the public and encourages more youth to consider science and engineering-related careers and study paths.
During our inaugural event last year, over 550 visitors came into KPU to check out the experiments, displays and labs. Some of the visitors stayed for the entire three-hour event, mostly families with small kids.
Event Highlights:
- Chemistry Magic Show
- Wireless Robots
- Lab and Greenhouse tours
- Nursing—Patient simulators
- Bug garden
- Dancing flames
