Content that's accessible to all
The Science Centre's amazing, fun, and surprising exhibitions
allow visitors to explore, learn, and understand through
a variety of interactive means. The scientific exhibitions
have been designed to :
- make the science and technology that shape our daily
lives more accessible,
- provide visitors with a direct and amusing connection
to basic scientific concepts and techniques,
- develop an understanding of the impact of scientific
and technological applications on our daily lives and
on society as a whole.
The Montréal Science Centre highlights and explains
recent Canadian innovations and inventions both within
the exhibition halls and in its public areas to show
them off and make visitors more aware of the know-how
of our local industries.
In an effort to rejuvenate, support, and stimulate the
teaching of science, the Science Centre, in collaboration
with the ministère de l'Éducation du Québec, has created
education programs for primary and secondary school
students. It has also developed a careers-in-science
program, with the goal of making current information
about careers in science and technology available to
young people.
A team of consultants in the fields of education, communications,
science and technology assists the programming team
in developing its exhibition programs and its educational
and cultural activities.
