I like that every year my Dad took me to see all the magicians during my schools Christmas break. I liked that magic and science were fun. It's what we do every year at science world when I come home to Canada.

i use to hate science but after i've been to science world it expressed my thinking about science i understand why we need science n why science can be fun my job when i grow up i might want to work at the science world!

Years back, I was hired to work the spring break week - It was my very first job & I got to teach kids how to make "fake snot." how cool is that!? You're never too old to have fun at science world - I'm a "grown up" now and still love playing in all the exhibits at science world.

From ASTC to Scienceworld to Telus World of Science. Having worked at Scienceworld for four years and now as a member with children, I am continually baffled by the fact that we can exhibit and educate the general public with a fascinating mix of educational and entertaining media, but will we ever solve the entry/exit area in the lobby of the building?

Leonardo DaVinci Machines: I spent the night alone, after hours photographing the DaVinci exhibit when I worked there one summer. It was very spooky being alone in the building at night. Then the Aliens came. Mrs. Alien seemed so much bigger when she fought Sigourney Weaver. Hey! Whatever happened to my photographs of the Laser Show? Whose desk are they in now? Anyway, it was a terrific summer there and a terrific science fair. All the best to everyone there inside the Globe. Visit me here at Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump sometime.

I have many fond memories of Science World, don't get me wrong; it was my favourite place in the world as a kid. However, the one that sticks in my head the most is when I was about six (so, late nineties) and managed to get my thumb stuck in the elevator door somehow.

I have many great memories from working at SW; The Fun Guys, the Duct Tape Dudes, Stuttering Wombat films, the behind the scenes hi-jinks on fellow floor staff and myself, plus April Fool's Day happenings.

The inspirational include the children coming back and remembering the school programs that I taught them; seeing others do magic tricks and being able to perform my own as a warm up for centre stage shows. This has led to me becoming a semi-professional magician with an incredible repetoire of tricks.

The best thing about working at SW, however, were all the volunteers and co-workers. You could always count on all of them for just about anything at any given time. I will forever treasure my time spent with all of you.

PS
Could someone please give Garth a roll of duct tape? ;)

My eldest son loved playing with the puzzles. He built our home computers, is going into computing science, and is our very own tech person.

My second son always loved jumping, playing, and running on the giant piano. He is in a band, plays the guitar as his first instrument and the piano as his second is college, and plays the guitar in church. (He cried once when he was little because he was not chosen to go up on Centre Stage).

My youngest son, 12, is always fascinated by the fire balloon above Centre Stage. At the High School Open House, he was so proud that he already knew how (the secret) to make ice-cream (from Science Camp).
