The Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N is a chance to play around with some cool gadgets and even participate in simulations to test your skills. You can fly like Iron Man, try lifting Thor's hammer, or see if you can solve problems like Bruce Banner. It's not just a fun day out, but it's also a chance to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a fun and engaging way. Plus, you can learn about the history of the Avengers and their impact on pop culture. You'll also get an inside look at how the movies were made!

Spring Break at Britannia Mine Museum

When: March 15 – 26 (Wednesday to Sunday)
Where: Near Squamish

A little dirt doesn’t hurt, especially with Britannia Mine Museum’s fun, family-friendly, interpreter-led “Mini Mud Monsters” programming in their Terra Lab STEAM learning space. Spend the afternoon with “Live in the Lab: Mini Mud Monsters” where you will meet tiny organisms from nearby Britannia Creek and learn how they help us understand the impacts of mining on local ecosystems. Participants will also explore the important environmental remediation lessons of the Britannia Mines due to acid rock drainage, which occurs naturally when rainwater reacts with oxygen and exposed minerals.

Nature's Ninjas at the Vancouver Aquarium

When: February 10 - September 4
Where: Stanley Park in Vancouver

Nature’s Ninjas at the Vancouver Aquarium will feature species of animals that have evolved ways to protect themselves from attack. This exhibit will profile 16 species and highlight the defensive mechanisms of these animals. The exhibit includes the two-toed sloth and three-banded armadillo. Some methods of self-defense are more obvious than others but make no mistake every animal has a self-defense strategy; armour, claws, teeth, venom, poison, and more. Nature’s Ninjas explores some of the most common and most unique mechanisms of self-defense in the animal kingdom in this gorgeous, interactive, live animal exhibit.
