Discover Days
The University of Manitoba is pleased to bring back our popular Discover Days program. In 2024, we welcomed nearly early 2000 students and 300 teachers across the province. This year we look forward to welcoming classes back to campus for a science-filled field trip!
Discover Days is supported by a PromoScience grant from NSERC.

Run an activity for Discover Days
If you are a UM science faculty, staff member or student, we encourage you to apply to run an activity for Discover Days! Activities only run on April 29th and 30th. We're looking for hands-on, engaging science and engineering activities geared towards kids in grades 3-5 (ages 8-10). Activities are 30 minutes long and you will only have one class with you at a time. Each class has between 15 and 30 students, multiple chaperones, including their homeroom teacher, and a trained Science Rendezvous guide who is with them for their whole Discover Day experience. To get more information and apply to run an activity, please view the application form.

You can volunteer for Discover Days and Science Rendezvous. Discover Days is an invite-only version of Science Rendezvous, intended for schools only. We encourage you to choose to volunteer for Discover Days when you are filling out the Science Rendezvous volunteer application.
As a UM Faculty of Science faculty, staff member or student, you may also be interested in running a booth for Science Rendezvous. For volunteering or running a booth please visit the Science Rendezvous website.
