Creative Challenges

Looking for things to do in Montréal? Dive into indoor activities inspired by the city’s biggest landmarks! The Montréal Science Centre celebrates its very own Montreality with four new creative challenges. Imagine and invent solutions to overcome technological challenges and build them using real tools and all sorts of different materials.

C is for Challenge, and M is for Montreal! The Metro challenge is about designing an invention that can fly up an air tube and come out at the top. The Ville-Marie challenge, inspired by Montreal’s original name, is about building a level structure that has specific dimensions. This highly interactive activity involves using motors, LEDs and circuit switches. The Mount challenge, an ode to Mount Royal, is about building a prototype that can travel from the top of a hill and stop in a specific area. Careful though! Road conditions change depending on whether it’s summer or winter. The River challenge, inspired by the St. Lawrence River, is about making a device that can float between the water surface and the bottom of the tank for at least 10 seconds.
