Space Camp Saturdays

Welcome to Space Camp Saturdays!

The Department of Physics & Astronomy has partnered with the H.R.MacMillan Space Centre to bring you some stellar ASTRO outreach for the whole family! Come join us!

Join us every last Saturday of the month for Space Camp Saturday, a hands-on boot camp into hot topics in space science. Each month brings a new theme—from space exploration to special relativity—led by special guests from the UBC Department of Physics and Astronomy. Families can enjoy interactive talks, demos, and activities designed to spark curiosity for all ages.

Enjoy a planetarium show & dive into black holes—real science, mysteries, pop culture myths, an immersive spacetime demo and a scavenger hunt!
