SCIENCE IN MOTION SERVES COMMUNITIES FARTHER THAN 100 KM FROM EDMONTON.
If you would like to come to visit TELUS World of Science in Edmonton, see our Educator page
Science in Motion bookings are organized around a three-day travel week (Tuesday to Thursday). For single or two-day bookings, we will need to book with other local schools to fulfil the three-day requirements for your area. Schools that arrange their own partner schools are eligible for a discounted rate. If you are unable to arrange a partnership, we are happy to help.
Requests can be made at any time for the current or the following school year. Bookings are based on a first come, first served system – all requests are considered, but not guaranteed.
To begin your booking request, please visit the SIM Programming Request Form.
