Science Rendezvous Victoria 2022 is being hosted on May 7 by the Faculties of Engineering and Computer Science, Science, and Social Sciences in partnership with Ocean Networks Canada, Science Venture, and Camosun College. Excite the next generation of STEM leaders by volunteering with us: https://bit.ly/scirenvic2022volunteer
Please read on for more details.
Science Rendezvous is a cross-Canada event to excite K-12 students about STEM:
At a national level, Science Rendezvous will take shape as a hybrid event: in-person offerings where local health guidelines allow and a virtual Science Chase. At this point, we are planning on offering both live, in-person and virtual events (we continue to monitor the COVID situation carefully). The in-person events will be held at UVic and the Camosun Interurban campus.
Thanks to those of you who have already expressed interest in volunteering! For those of you who have not done so yet – it is not too late.
We invite you to participate as volunteers from across our campuses, demonstrating your work in engaging ways for youth, ages 6-18. Lab tours, live demonstrations and interactive tools or materials are a perfect fit for this event. Activities can range from 5min – 30min, and we will be providing attendees with a list of all events at both UVic and the Camosun Interurban campus. We welcome both scheduled activities as well as less formal, information-booth style ones. When thinking about what to present – and how – be creative! We would like to work with you to make your event happen. If you are keen to highlight your work but want to ask questions about working with youth in this age group, please reach out to Lauren Hudson at lhudson@oceannetworks.ca
We welcome volunteers from faculty, staff, and students. If you would like to volunteer, please get in touch with us at
