Science Rendezvous 2024 | Queen’s Gazette

Making Science Fun

In 2008, Science Rendezvous was created to bring science to the public and inspire the next generation. Today, Science Rendezvous represents the largest single-day science festival in the country and spans 30 cities, 10 provinces, and two territories. In 2020, 2022, and 2023, Kingston’s chapter of Science Rendezvous was recognized with national awards, making it one of the most successful Science Rendezvous events in the country.

Science Rendezvous Kingston 2024 was made possible with the support of Queen’s Vice-Principal Research Portfolio, as well as local supporters: Slush Puppie Place, TIME – Translational Institute of Medicine, Kinarm, Benjamin Hotels, 93.5 Country and Kingston’s K-Rock – 105.7.

While this year’s festivities have ended, the learning continues online as through the resources Science Rendezvous Kingston provides for families and schools to access year-round. These include booklists and suggested readings for continued scientific education, curated by Librarians at Queen’s Faculty of Education, and explore STEM@Home activities provided by research groups that participated in the event. Science Rendezvous Kingston 2025 will take place on May 10. A call for participants and booths will be launched in the fall.
