A Bright Future - Opening Minds

As Canada’s first new science centre in more than 25 years, the new facility will reflect Alberta’s dynamic growth. It will be on the cutting-edge, featuring the newest technologies related to learning, presentation and building sustainability. It will be the first science centre of the 21st century. It will be a place where young minds can take risks, test themselves and challenge the status quo. It will be a place where audiences of all ages will have the freedom to ask questions, solve problems, create solutions and be free to have their ideas sometimes fail; the tenets of great innovative thinking. With a new focus on teens and young adults, TELUS World of Science will provide an engaging environment to expand their interests and awareness of science, technology and creativity at a crucial time in their education and career development.

Through the latest in digital technology and the partnerships to support it, the new TELUS World of Science will connect to all Canadians by providing immediate and continual access to programming beyond the walls of the building. Linkages with universities, industry, government research facilities, as well as other science centres will extend the impact and enrich the programs beyond anything that typical interactive exhibits have been able to achieve in the past.
