TELUS Spark is a different kind of Science Centre. It’s a place where visitors and students are encouraged to ignite their passion for discovery and to explore the extraordinary. We don’t just convey information. You are encouraged to pave your own path and discover answers through a participatory approach to all programs and exhibits. We believe that fostering and celebrating innovative and critical thinking is the key to inspiring generations of Albertans and Canadians to explore interests and careers in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. Sparking a passion and igniting a curiosity in children in these areas is at the forefront of our school programming at TELUS Spark. Coupled with a creative and artistic environment, we are building for the future of our community by growing the 21st century skills needed to further our city, the province, the country, and the world.
Please note that School Program rates are discounted. Memberships, promotions, discounts or coupons may not be redeemed for School Program Bookings.

TELUS Spark is excited to launch the new HD Digital Dome Theatre! This state-of-the-art theatre contains software with a highly comprehensive set of astronomical data from scientists and planetariums worldwide, including the American Museum of Natural History and NASA. A Live Planetarium Show is sure to get your students excited about the night sky and our vast universe, and our feature film, The Last Reef, draws clear connections to the impact our daily lives have on our oceans.
2013 also marks the launch of the new Digital Media Studio, an interactive experience in which students can immerse themselves in the high-tech world of digital content creation.
TELUS Spark’s programs and exhibits will allow students to discover new worlds and ways to advance our community, become entrepreneurs and artists, to encourage debate and discussion, and to unravel the mysteries of the natural world while embracing the curiosity that resides in all of us.
Through their experiences here, students will develop and practice the skills needed to make an impact on our world and our future.
