Join us every last Saturday of the month for Space Camp Saturday, a hands-on boot camp into hot topics in space science. Each month brings a new theme from space exploration to special relativity led by special guests from the UBC Department of Physics and Astronomy. Families can enjoy interactive talks, demos, and activities designed to spark curiosity (recommended ages 10+).

Feature Talk
This talk examines the life cycles of stars, from their formation in clouds of gas and dust to the final remnants they leave behind. It traces how gravity and nuclear fusion shape a star's lifetime and help determine whether it will end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
