Each year, thousands of children and adults with an appetite for fun attend Science Rendezvous at the University of Toronto.
This festival of all things science is the brainchild of ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ chemistry and biological physics professor Dwayne Miller and began as a joint program between ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ, Ryerson University, York University and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in 2008.
