What is a Family Science Night?
Family Science Nights are evening STEM adventures for families, hosted by schools. Currently, they are only offered online across the country, but when it is safe to do so, they will also be offered on-site in certain areas of Ontario and Alberta. Sparking a child’s interest in science and math at an early age, involving their family, and helping to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills are the key goals of this program. Family Science Nights also provide ideas on how to incorporate science into daily activities at home. In Ontario, many schools will fund their Family Science Nights with a Parents Reaching Out grant.
