When CuriousCITY, the early childhood development gallery opened in 2019 as a part of The Aurora Project, Stephanie and her two young kids were so happy they had a space to be active and have one-on-one time as a family to explore every week.

“As a winter city, we need places to go where we can get out and move. CuriousCITY is a space where they feel safe to explore but also challenged to learn new things and choose their own adventure. Even at this young age, I have seen them learning the link between cause and effect. They play with the ball machine and test out how they can place it to make it shoot out a certain way.”

One of Stephanie’s favourite memories at the science centre was seeing her kids interact with the exhibit when they came on a field trip.
“It was so empowering to watch them. As their class arrived in CuriousCITY, Jude and Gloria took on a leadership role. After all of the time they had spent exploring, they became the teachers and were able to share it with all of their friends.”

“Your donation to The Aurora Project is to current mini science lovers and future ‘grown-up’ scientists and science lovers. It’s a donation to families.”

“It has changed our family and is so important because as my kids grow, so does their interest in science. The updated exhibits meet their growing excitement and intelligence. The innovative direction the science centre is moving right now is right in stride with the way families and individuals are evolving.”
