Showcasing STEM learning in a creative, artistic and sometimes explosive fashion, Beakerhead promises to be bigger and better than ever this year.
After a decade of bringing STEM learning to Calgarians in a creative, artistic and sometimes explosive fashion, Beakerhead promises to be bigger and better than ever this year.Imagine: you’re walking around Calgary and you see a massive display of lights, sounds and interactivity in the form of a giant human body.
According to Executive Director Parker Chapple, at the heart of Beakerhead is a mission to make STEM accessible to everyone. After its inaugural year, Beakerhead quickly became one of Calgary’s premier festivals — from 2014 where more than 73,000 people attended the nearly 70 installations, to 2018 where exhibits had nearly 150,000 people visit. Beakerhead joined forces within 2022 to expand programming even more, and continues growing its reach today.
“[In the tech sector], we’re on the precipice of seeing some really amazing and innovative change here in Calgary. Beakerhead, as a free event and one of the only events of its kind in North America, is really centred on amplifying that narrative of STEM through a creative and artistic experience that is accessible,” said Chapple.
“Not only are we able to fortify and inspire those cross-sector experiences [between art and science], but it ultimately ends up being a calling card to Canada, North America and the world about frankly how rad Calgary is,” they said.
