Our work

TELUS Spark Science Centre (Spark) is a registered educational charity dedicated to uplifting individuals through the power of curiosity. As a non-profit science centre, our purpose is clear: to ignite curiosity, which is the foundation of learning, discovery, and innovation. When we foster curiosity, we build a brighter future for our community. Community support like yours enables science programming and education that connects with people of all ages and backgrounds. From hands-on experiences to curriculum-enhancing workshops, Spark engages over 427,000 visitors annually in Calgary and surrounding areas.

The science centre is certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, setting a high standard for green construction and sustainable operations. We proudly house the largest dome theatre in Western Canada, a cutting-edge Digital Immersion Gallery, and constantly evolving exhibits designed to keep Calgary curious. 

Our education programs empower learners to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM), with signature initiatives like Operation Minerva (helping young girls and gender-diverse youth see a future in STEAM fields), and BLUprint (introducing youth to skilled trades and hands-on learning opportunities). These programs inspire the next generation of innovators and leaders, particularly in underrepresented fields. 

Spark is committed to accessibility and equity through initiatives that ensure everyone, regardless of background, can engage with science. Free and discounted access to underserved communities makes the transformative power of science available to all. Through lifelong learning and innovative programming, Spark builds a more knowledgeable, inclusive, and future-ready community.
