Hey readers,
We love partnering with Science Odyssey because it’s Canada’s biggest celebration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)! From May 4-19, tons of fun science activities took place across the country, including our 2019 Science Odyssey Contest. We asked families to do three scientific activities together, whether it was planting flowers in a garden, drawing a space ship, or visiting a science centre, for a chance to win some cool prizes.
We had another great turnout for this year’s 2019 Science Odyssey Contest. Congrats to all our lucky winners below!
Our grand-prize winner is Connor Stephens who sent in this awesome video. He made a snap circuits fan, paper airplanes, and defied gravity in an indoor skydiving simulator. Check it out!
Congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you had a great time exploring some fun STEM activities and look forward to hearing about your experiences in the comments below.
Hope to see you next year for the 2020 Science Odyssey Family Contest!

Who loves science? We do, we do! That’s why from May 11 to 20 this past year, we partnered with Science Odyssey to bring you the 2018 Science Odyssey Family Contest!
All families had to do was to document themselves in the act of exploring science together, whether that was reading and researching, investigating the outdoors, or doing experiments. One grand-prize winner would receive a year-long family pass to all of Canada’s science centres (whoa!) and some cool tech prizes. We had six runner-up prizes to award as well.
Our winners this year are Arushi, 8, and Artash, 12. They created three awesome projects, including a model of the TRAPPIST-1 system that is said to be a possible home for life outside our own solar system. This makes sense to us—this brother-sister team are out of this world!

In addition, we have more prizes to award! These six runner-up entries each get an Owlkids prize pack:
Congrats to Artash and Arushi, and all our 2018 Science Odyssey Family Contest runners-up! We received hundreds of entries and it was so inspiring to see all your projects. Great work, everyone—we hope you had fun!
Hope to see you next year for the 2019 Science Odyssey Family Contest. We can’t wait!
