SFU Science AL!VE | Fall Pro-D Day | SFU BBY | Nov 20 | Grades K-7

Explore, create, and discover at one of our STEM-focused Pro-D Day Camp! It’s Gourd Time! Fall Pro-D Day Camp (Grades K–7) A Day of Pumpkins, Science & Fall Fun We will be offering this fall Pro-D day camp on Friday, November 20 at SFU Burnaby Campus – Applied Sciences Building (8888 University Dr, Burnaby). Program Time: 9AM – 3:30PM Before Care: 8AM – 9AM (additional $15) After Care: 3:30PM – 5PM (additional $20) Early Bird: $55 until Sunday, November 15 at 11:59PM (regular $70) Note: Pre-event information will be sent via email on Thursday, November 19 at 12pm. Celebrate everything we love about fall in this pumpkin-packed Pro-D day! Campers will explore how pumpkins grow, their parts and structures, and their life cycle from a tiny seed to a big, beautiful pumpkin. Then they’ll dig into the science behind seasonal experiments and crafts. It’s going to be a gourd time! PUMPKIN PATCH PALS (GRADE K–1) What colour do you get when you mix red and yellow? Little scientists will discover how paint works by mixing primary colours, then decorate a real pumpkin of their own. Next, they’ll explore matter as they make glow-in-the-dark slime. They’ll finish the day with fall crafts: a beaded pumpkin keychain, a painted rock monster and a mini witch hat to take home. GLOWING GOURDS (GRADE 2–4) What makes papier-mâché so strong? Campers will learn how polymers in paper work together as they build their own papier-mâché pumpkin. Then they’ll power up mini circuits with LEDs and copper tape. After lunch, they’ll make a beaded spider keychain and design and sew their own felt monster plush. LANTERN LAB (GRADE 5–7) How do we make things light up? Campers will learn about electricity and circuits, then wire an LED circuit to light up their own pumpkin lantern. In the afternoon, they’ll sew a field mouse plush, and anyone who finishes early can try needle felting a tiny acorn or mushroom.
