The University of Prince Edward Island’s Department of Physics is excited to host the Innovation150 Power of Ideas Tour while it makes its stop in Charlottetown October 31 to November 1. The event is free and open to the public from 6:00 to 8:00 pm on Wednesday, November 1 at the Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre on the UPEI campus, following two days of school visits. The Department of Physics is pleased to partner with the Innovation150 Secretariat and the UPEI School of Sustainable Design Engineering to offer this experiential learning opportunity. The event includes an innovation talk and exhibition, presented by the Perimeter Institute, which features hands-on, mind-expanding activities. Participants will explore the cosmic speed limit, the mysteries of dark matter, black holes and even more importantly, the power of ideas, big and small. From delving into two of the world’s largest science experiments to exploring changing ideas about our universe, this immersive experience fosters new curiosities and a better understanding of how the world is understood. The experience also features Actua’s Maker Mobile, a maker-space that includes exciting, cutting-edge technology that encourages youth to experiment and build with hands-on learning. Youth have a unique opportunity to learn how to create and prototype using design software, and watch their inventions come to life with laser cutters.
