Members of the Kingston and Queen’s communities gathered once again for a day full of scientific learning and family fun.

The sixth annual Science Rendezvous Kingston drew a record crowd of 4,200 visitors to the Rogers K-Rock Centre on Saturday, May 7, to watch demonstrations and take part in experiments offered by researchers and students from Queen’s University, as well as from the Royal Military College of Canada, St. Lawrence College and a number of community science groups.

The free event included 60 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) stations such as the Math Midway, a bird of prey display, the Chemistry Magic Show,  robots and 3D printers, as well as a special presentation by Queen’s Professor Emeritus and 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics Art McDonald.
