The Let’s Talk Science School for Witchcraft and Wizardry

The University of Winnipeg Let’s Talk Science Site will be opening, for the first time, a School for Witchcraft and Wizardry (W&W)! The event will take place on Saturday, October 25th from 10am-4pm at the UW campus. The School for Witchcraft and Wizardry is a Halloween-themed science event catered for school-aged children.

W&W will feature a scheduled list of activities with sessions hosted by the UW science departments: These include the Magical Creatures showcase hosted by the Department of Biology displaying some interesting creatures used for research and teaching; a Potions Making Class where the Department of Chemistry will ignite curiosity with their Chemistry Magic Show; and the Department of Physics will run the Forces of Magic show with their wonderous demonstrations of the forces that surround us in our day-to-day lives.

The event will also host miscellaneous spooky-themed craft activities throughout the day. And, the Department of Athletics and Kinesiology will hold Quidditch matches for some physical activity!
