About

Presented by the Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC), Science Literacy Week is a national celebration of curiosity, discovery, and the science all around us. From coast to coast to coast, CASC members, educators, and a growing ecosystem of STEM learning leaders are coming together to spark questions, try new ideas, and explore science in everyday life.

This year’s theme, Curiosity Unleashed, invites everyone to explore, play, and notice the world in new ways. In an era shaped by rapid discovery and innovation, STEM engagement organizations and science communicators play a critical role in cultivating a culture of curiosity, resilience, and engagement across Canada. Science Literacy Week invites everyone and anyone in the  broader science engagement ecosystem to come together to explore how we foster inclusive, vibrant, and forward-looking spaces for science learning and public dialogue. We encourage everyone to join us this October with open minds, open hearts, and come curious.

CASC is proud to partner with Science Pour Tous to connect, collaborate with, and convene Québec-based organizations, ensuring francophone leadership shines within this national initiative. Together, we will cultivate a vibrant network across Québec that aligns local strengths while spotlighting stories and innovators from coast to coast to coast and de la francophonie.
