Science Rendezvous 2026 brought science out of the lab and onto the streets once again! Families, students, educators, and community members from across the region gathered in Markham Village to explore, experiment, create, and celebrate STEAM together.
York University’s Markham Campus was proud to partner with the City of Markham and the Markham Village BIA to host this exciting community event at Main Street Markham. Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, demonstrated, and supported this year’s event.
