2015-2016 SCHOOL PROGRAM GUIDE
At TELUS Spark we encourage students to think differently,
challenge themselves and learn in different ways. We believe
that education and learning doesn’t start and end just at school
or here with us – it’s a sum of all these experiences. This is why we strive to bring new experiences, programs and
technology to help you, your students, families and even adults
to continue developing and learning – while having fun. You may
have seen this with the opening of The Brainasium last summer,
where visitors explored physics, sound and spatial learning. And
this summer we’ll almost double The Brainasium for even more
playful learning. This year we’ve pushed ourselves even further to deliver
programs that deliver STEAM principles creatively. For
example, we’re excited to launch programs that engage students
with mathematics through dance in partnership with DJD
(Decidedly Jazz Danceworks). In order to increase accessibility to our programs we are expanding the SHIFT Lab program and launching Distance Learning. If
you can’t join us for the summer intensive, shorter workshops might be right for you. Distance Learning will see the expansion
of the Direct From the Operating Room program along with the launch of distance learning programs for educators and
classrooms beyond the Calgary area.
We’re already looking forward to the upcoming school year and to continue to work with you to engage your students as they
explore science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). Sincerely, Katherine Ziff

Combining live storytelling with digital technology, the
Dome is transformed from a theatre to an observatory
to a space ship, traveling beyond warp speed to regions
that are too far away and far too big to see any other
way. Our live shows answer many questions and trigger
many more, setting each viewer on a path of life-long
curiosity about the universe and our place in it.
Travel to the mouth of a volcano, take flight with the
butterflies, and see the microscopic world from the
perspective of an electron. Our movies are handpicked to provide the most moving, educational
and awe-inspiring subjects available to the Giant
Screen. The unique architecture of the dome – along
with full surround sound – guarantees an immersive
and memorable documentary experience.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AT TELUS SPARK
Direct From the Operating Room
Chevron Open Minds Science School
Explore the world of medicine by joining TELUS Spark for
live surgical procedures! In these programs, junior high
and high school students watch a close-up, guided view
of a surgery as it is happening. Surgical team members
answer student questions, sharing insights into biomedical
engineering, anatomy, career paths, and more.
Embark on a week-long journey that allows your students
to question and challenge, discover and grow, collaborate
in new ways to solve problems and ultimately develop a
passion for learning about science, technology, engineering,
art and math.
Supported by THE BRAWN FAMILY FOUNDATION.

Knee Replacement
Presented in partnership with ALBERTA HEALTH SERVICES.
Injury and arthritis can damage a knee, causing pain
and limiting a person’s ability to walk. An artificial joint
can reduce pain and restore mobility. Watch and ask
questions as a surgical team replaces a knee in this
2.5 hour program.
Price: $285
For up to 15 people. Each additional person: $18
Cataract Extraction with Lens Implantation
Presented in partnership with the GIMBEL EYE CENTRE.
New! Half of the cases of blindness in the world are
caused by cataracts, a clouding of the lens in the eye.
Vision can be restored by removal of the clouded lens
and replacement with an artificial lens. Watch and
ask questions as a surgical team extracts cataracts on
two different patients in this 1.5 hour program.
Homeschool Days
Join us for Homeschool Days on September 14, 2015 and
May 9, 2016. Take advantage of workshops, Live Theatre
Shows, HD Digital Dome movies and more. All of the
workshops and programs are inspired by recent research
in inquiry-based learning. Preregistration is recommended.
SparkScience.ca/Homeschool
The Prototype Project
Sponsored by LIGHTSTREAM RESOURCES LTD
Direct From the Operating Room is also
available as a Distance Learning Program.
This program reinvents the science fair model and
challenges students to create a working prototype
of their own interactive science centre exhibit. It
encourages students to be design thinkers while
exploring STEAM concepts, with the help of scientists,
engineers and tradespeople, who mentor them over
a four-month period.
Connect your classroom to our live knee replacement
surgery experience over the Internet! All that is needed
is a webcam, microphone, computer, and display screen
together with a broadband connection.
This program is available to junior high and high
school students in late 2015. Due to the length and
depth of engagement, participation is very limited.
Contact us for more details.

CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS
HOW DOES TELUS SPARK CONNECT TO THE CURRICULUM?
Guiding unique learning experiences, together
At TELUS Spark, we will work with educators and parents to take learners on a journey that allows them to question and challenge,
discover and grow, collaborate in new ways to solve problems, and ultimately develop a passion for learning about science, art
and technology.
What, and how, you will learn at TELUS Spark has been inspired by recent research in inquiry-based learning, as well as the
21st Century Learning Skills Report for Museums.
The programs and exhibits are platforms for multiple learning outcomes, rooted in authentic science and current technology.
Within this framework, students will explore their own questions and develop their own solutions. In our workshops, students
will participate in collaborative activities that place an emphasis on the processes of science and creativity, concentrating on
developing skills, attitudes and behaviours that are integral to growth back in the classroom and in their future lives and careers.

Open Studio
Being Human
Created for teens, with teens. The Open Studio gallery
encourages visitors to take creative risks, question
assumptions and explore new ways of thinking, ultimately
inspiring confidence and stretching their creative muscles
in unexpected directions. We encourage you to participate
in our daily Open Studio Drop-In Workshops. They offer
a safe place to learn design and engineering skills by
working with real tools. And real tools develop real skills.
The Being Human gallery encourages students
to explore what it truly means to be human by
investigating the most fascinating people on earth:
friends, family, classmates, and themselves. They will
build their confidence and dramatic skills by telling
their stories, asking questions and exploring ideas.

Energy & Innovation
We are all linked to the Earth and the sky, through the
systems of our world and our own daily lives. In the Earth
& Sky gallery, students will investigate Alberta’s unique
geology, landscapes, weather and climate, and the forces that
connect them. Without ever leaving the gallery, students
will make observations and draw connections, applying the
lessons learned from the Albertan landscape to the features
of other worlds, all while developing and applying skills in
collaboration, experimentation and observation.
Energy is about transformation: from one form to another,
from one use to another. In this gallery students will
explore some of the fundamental principles of energy
(conservation of energy, momentum, and gravity), while
engaging in activities that build key skills for the future,
including collaboration, problem solving, communication,
observation and a willingness to experiment.
