Science centres and science museums have always sought to increase public understanding of science and technology. By going further, by involving visitors directly in the process of science and innovation – tackling real world issues, interacting with leading scientists, engaging in trial-and-error experimentation, and much more – the Ontario Science Centre is sparking curiosity,nurturing innovation skills and growing the next generation of science-confident citizens.

The new Ontario Science Centre provides dynamic experiences and environments where experimentation and failure are vital components of innovative activity, where it’s safe to test ideas and build the confidence to explore them further. Participants become inspired – and inspired to question.

The Ontario Science Centre has a unique role in promoting innovation skills and science literacy in visitors of all ages. On-site experiences added through Agents of Change are designed for specific age groups, and are helping the Science Centre extend its reach beyond its traditional family audiences to include toddlers, teens and adults. Online and off-site experiences take the Science Centre beyond its walls making science and technology more accessible than ever before.

With the support of numerous partners, the Ontario Science Centre is strategically positioned at the intersection of the scientific, cultural, educational and corporate sectors. It has become an agent of change with a major role in developing a population capable of making informed decisions that impact their personal well-being and that of our planet.
