Homeschool Science Fair
2026-02-10 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Brighton Public Library, 35 Alice St, Brighton, Ontario, K0K 1H0, Canada
Young scientists of all ages are invited to present their findings at our annual Science Fair! Students can share what they’ve learned in science and nature studies in any way that is meaningful for them; we’d love to see collections, experiments or creative projects that demonstrate their discoveries. This is also a great opportunity for kids to develop presentation skills as visitors drop by their displays and ask questions. Feel free to invite family and friends to see your child’s learning on display.
We also look forward to welcoming a special guest scientist, who will share about their role and some of the science they interact with every day.
Please register each child that plans to participate, so that we have tables available for every display.

We welcome The History Guy Dan Buchanan to separate fact from fiction in the case of George Gibson’s Schooner. Secretly built for the War of 1812, burned by a pirate, attacked by American spies?! Dan will set the record straight for this piece of local lore from Presqu’ile Bay, using recent research and his gift for storytelling. He assures us that the truth is always more interesting than the legends!
No registration is required, but local history is a hot topic in Brighton! We recommend arriving early to grab a seat.
