Get ready to experiment, explore, and discover! Rural Roots Discovery Lab, a dynamic new youth-led initiative founded by the young entrepreneurs behind Creative Mode Farms (owners aged 11, 13, and 15), is launching an interactive science celebration designed to ignite curiosity in rural communities.
It’s happening at Carleton Place’s Carambeck Community Centre on Saturday April 25th from 10 am to 2 pm. This new all-ages event invites families to experience science, technology, engineering, and environmental learning in ways that are hands-on, exciting, and deeply connected to the natural world. Admission is by donation to the Youth Centre.
One of the team members behind this initiative, Alex Cavanagh, gives us a teaser of what visitors can expect.
Visitors will explore themed zones designed to spark imagination and critical thinking. The topics range from interactive science to engineering to biology and earth science zones to so much more. Sarah Cavanagh, mom, to this ingenious team tells about a unique astronomy demo
In today’s fast-paced digital world, meaningful hands-on learning opportunities are more important than ever. Rural Roots Discovery Lab aims to rekindle curiosity, deepen appreciation for the landscapes we inhabit, and foster understanding of where our resources come from.
Rather than fearing the decisions of the past, the organization encourages thoughtful, informed decisions for the future—empowering the next generation to explore, question, and innovate. The youngest team member Lyla, says the reasons for coming out are pretty straightforward.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your questions. Leave inspired. For more information about Rural Roots Discovery Lab or partnership opportunities, please contact Creative Mode Farms, Jackson, Alex & Lyla Cavanagh at arizaconsulting1@gmail.com or check out their Facebook page here.
