PIECING TOGETHER A FUTURE OF BRILLIANCE AND DISCOVERY
Join us for an inspiring evening to help build a world where science is accessible for all.
March 22, 2025
Join us for this year’s Bluecoat Ball: Building Brilliance—a dazzling evening where imagination meets impact. Inspired by our upcoming special exhibition, Sean Kenney's Brick Masters Studio, you'll be transported into a vibrant world built of LEGO® bricks. Together, we’ll build, connect, and play, all in the spirit of creating a brighter future. Celebrate our legacy and help inspire the next generation through this unforgettable experience!
This year’s goal for The Science for All fund is $100,000!
The Science for All fund removes barriers for individuals, groups, schools, and communities through financial support to enable access to Science North facilities and educational experiences. By delivering STEM programming (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), the Science for All fund ensures educational and innovative science experiences are attainable to anyone living in Greater Sudbury and across Northern Ontario.
On Saturday, March 22, we invite our guests to a playful and inspiring night of connection and creativity, celebrating the brilliance of building a brighter future together.
Sip on a meticulously crafted cocktail and discover what makes the Science North Bluecoat experience iconic at our 2025 Bluecoat Ball: Building Brilliance.
