What a difference a new window makes! 🪟☀️ If you've visited Science North over the past few months, you've probably noticed the scaffolding along our ramp and windows outside. We're happy to share we've wrapped things up, and we have a pretty spectacular view to show for it! Today, we celebrated the completion of our window renewal project, which included replacing nearly 400 panes of glass in our curtain wall and skylight. After more than 40 years, our iconic snowflake-shaped building needed a little TLC! We've replaced aging, foggy windows, bringing back our beautiful view of Ramsey Lake while also addressing leaks and improving energy efficiency. The new windows will help reduce the energy needed to heat and cool our building. This project also helps preserve an important part of Northern Ontario's history for future generations. And that's something our community can be proud of! A big thank you to the Government of Ontario for supporting this project, and to all our teams who kept the science going while the work was underway! Next time you visit, take a moment to enjoy the view! ❄️

After more than a decade of Nightlife on the Rocks, we're changing things up! We've loved seeing you experience Science North after hours, but it's time for something new. We've been listening. You told us you wanted more unique experiences, more opportunities to connect, and events that give you a reason to keep coming back. So… Meet CURIOSITY AFTER DARK, our new 19+ adult event series at Science North! We're bringing you a different kind of night out, with live entertainment, a great atmosphere and a whole new format. Each event starts with a live show in the Vale Cavern, centred around a special guest who joins our host and Bluecoats for some science you might not expect. We'll have a different theme every time, so there's always something new to look forward to. After the show, grab a drink, explore Science North and enjoy the rest of your night with us. We'll reveal our first event on October 15! Any guesses what the theme will be? 👀 Feeling curious? Welcome to the club.

FREE GAMING CONSOLE?! 👀🎮 There’s a reason online giveaways can be so hard to resist. Here’s what dopamine has to do with it, and why that “too good to be true” feeling is worth a second thought. Don’t get scrolled. @ScienceUpFirst #Dopamine #OnlineScams #MediaLiteracy #TogetherAgainstMisinformation
