University of Saskatchewan - College of Engineering

The Children's Discovery Museum is thrilled to be participating in Spectrum 2016! We will be bringing our ever popular Timber Stackers as well as other STEM related activities for kids!

What is Spectrum?
"Spectrum was first held in 1930 as a forum for students of the University of Saskatchewan's College of Engineering to present their design projects to friends, family, and faculty. Since then, Spectrum has grown to become known as "North America's largest student-run exhibition of Science and Technology". The exhibition takes place every three years and is organized by students from the College of Engineering; this year it will take place from January 14th to 17th of 2016 and will feature workshops, speakers, and of course student and industry exhibits and displays."
