On Saturday, May 9 from noon to 3 p.m., SickKids will be taking part in Science Rendezvous, the Toronto-wide celebration of science designed to engage the public and attract media attention to the city's scientific endeavours. SickKids will be offering a wide variety of demonstrations and hands-on activities that are suitable for the whole family. From Jell-O brain replicas to a robotic surgical arm prototype – we invite everyone to join us for this exciting and educational event.
The event will be held in the Garden Patio and Terrace, SickKids Atrium at 170 Elizabeth Street.
