🎃Help Us Create More Than Halloween Memories!

Some of the most meaningful moments begin with a little curiosity, a lot of imagination, and a community that believes in making them possible.

Science East's Low-Scare Haunted Tour, part of Freddy Fright Fest 2026, is about so much more than Halloween. It's about bringing families together, creating opportunities for children to explore and discover, and making science exciting, welcoming, and memorable.

Last year, more than 2,000 families joined us for this beloved Fredericton tradition!

But the impact doesn't end when the Halloween decorations come down.

As an important fundraiser for Science East, the Low-Scare Haunted Tour helps us continue bringing hands-on science education to children, families, and communities across New Brunswick.

And we can't do it without the support of our community.

We're inviting local businesses and organizations to become sponsors and help us create something truly meaningful.

Your partnership is more than support for a single event. It's an investment in curiosity, connection, and opportunities for the next generation to discover what's possible.

💜 Be part of something meaningful.

Interested in becoming a sponsor or learning more about how your organization can get involved?

Reach out to Michelle at [email protected] to request our sponsorship package.

Together, we can make Halloween memories that have an impact long after the event is over!

We were honoured to have a special message from Brian Gallant, CEO of Space Canada, as part of today’s launch of Science East’s new travelling planetarium.

With his New Brunswick roots and his work now helping advance Canada’s space sector, Brian’s message was a fitting reminder of the opportunities ahead—and of the importance of giving young people the chance to see themselves as part of the future of STEM and space.

A huge thank you to Brian and the Space Canada team for taking the time to help us celebrate this exciting new chapter for Science East.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nous avons eu l’honneur de recevoir un message spécial de Brian Gallant, PDG d’Espace Canada, dans le cadre du lancement aujourd’hui du nouveau planétarium mobile de Science East.

Avec ses racines néo-brunswickoises et son travail visant aujourd’hui à faire progresser le secteur spatial canadien, le message de Brian nous a rappelé les possibilités qui s’ouvrent devant nous — et l’importance de donner aux jeunes l’occasion de se voir comme faisant partie de l’avenir des STIM et du secteur spatial.

Un grand merci à Brian et à toute l’équipe d’Espace Canada d’avoir pris le temps de participer à cette journée importante pour Science East et de célébrer avec nous ce nouveau chapitre.

This immersive experience will travel to schools and communities across the province, giving students the opportunity to explore the solar system, investigate the night sky and discover where their curiosity can take them.

Made possible with support from the Crabtree Foundation and NSERC’s PromoScience Program, the planetarium is about more than new technology — it’s about making extraordinary STEM experiences accessible to young people wherever they live in New Brunswick.

The travelling planetarium is now available to book!

Talent and curiosity exist in every New Brunswick community. Opportunity needs to reach them.

Une grande nouvelle chez Science East!

Nous rapprochons l’Univers des élèves du Nouveau-Brunswick grâce au lancement de notre nouveau planétarium mobile à la fine pointe de la technologie.

Cette expérience immersive se déplacera dans les écoles et les communautés de toute la province, offrant aux élèves l’occasion d’explorer le système solaire, d’observer le ciel nocturne et de découvrir jusqu’où leur curiosité peut les mener.

Rendu possible grâce au soutien de la Fondation Crabtree et du programme PromoScience du CRSNG, ce planétarium représente bien plus qu’une nouvelle technologie : il contribue à rendre des expériences extraordinaires en STIM accessibles aux jeunes, peu importe où ils vivent au Nouveau-Brunswick.

Le planétarium mobile est maintenant disponible pour les réservations!

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥!

Students aren’t the only ones getting the classic “first day” photos today!

To celebrate the start of a brand-new school year, we thought we’d introduce (or re-introduce!) the people behind Science East. From favourite science topics to what we’re most excited about this year, meet the team that makes the experiments, workshops, field trips, and wonderfully messy science happen.

We’re pretty excited for another year of sparking curiosity, asking big questions, trying new things, and bringing hands-on science to students and communities across New Brunswick.

Wishing all the students, teachers, school staff, and families heading back today an amazing first day and a fantastic school year ahead!

Now it’s our turn for first-day photos… Swipe through to meet the Science East team. 🔬

And a big shout out to our friends at the Discovery Centre for inspiring this post! Go check their out as well!

What a summer for Science East!

We’ve been on the move across New Brunswick — bringing hands-on science to libraries, markets, festivals, community events and more.
