Science Literacy Week
October 6 – 12, 2025
All across Canada

About
Science Literacy Week is a bold, national communications campaign, presented by the Canadian Association of Science Centres (CASC) in partnership with educators, CASC members, libraries, government agencies and more. By coming together, our goal is to ignite curiosity, celebrate Canadian science, and deepen public engagement in STEM learning.
Through collaborative programming and support for partners from coast to coast to coast, Science Literacy Week connects people to the stories, science, and communities shaping our planet—and our future. The theme for Science Literacy Week 2025 is From Sea to Space. CASC, along with CASC members, educators and a growing ecosystem of STEM learning leaders from across Canada, will showcase the interconnectedness of life on Earth and encourage a shared vision of a sustainable, curiosity-driven future.
