Science Centre ignites innovation

REGINA – The Saskatchewan Science Centre kicked off their Ignite! Festival on Friday.

The festival is in its second year and showcases over a dozen exhibits that feature Saskatchewan-made innovations and inventions.

Organizers say the variety of exhibits makes for a fun visit.

“They can look forward to a ton of cool exhibitors. There’s lots of robots running around, there’s lots of bright shinny things and lots of things that move. And we also have just a ton of family activities,” said Jessica Bickford, marketing coordinator for the science centre.

The HABEX space balloon project is one of the exhibits garnering a lot of attention.

It was created by Lorenzo Esercitato and William McCullum and features a styrofoam creation that was lifted 100,000 feet into the stratosphere by a balloon.
