Too Cool For School Art & Science Fair
Part of Fresh Ground new works, Harbourfront Centre's national commissioning programme.
The Too Cool For School Art & Science Fair turns the spotlight on the unexpected feats of imagination and exploration happening all around us. The day is structured like a typical science fair, but what sets it apart is that these projects are a mix of both art and science.
Participants were selected from an open call for submissions on the basis of originality, depth of inquiry, creative innovation and the element of surprise.
