About the BIG Little Science Centre Society (BLSCS)
Introduction
BIG Little Science Centre (BLSC) was started in February 2000 by Gordon R. Gore, a retired science teacher who has dedicated his life to teaching science in an interactive environment. The Centre currently operates at 458 Seymour St. in Downtown Kamloops. The current program format allows visitors a period of time to experiment on their own at hands-on stations located in the main activity area. There two other rooms used for shows, demonstrations, and as basic teaching laboratories.
The BIG Little Science Centre Society (BLSCS) was established in October 2002 and registered as a charitable organization in September 2003. The Society has a leadership of volunteer directors who meet monthly. The current Volunteer Board represents a diverse range of experience and skills including education, accounting, engineering, business, science and the trades. Many dedicated volunteers help to run the science centre, donating over 2000 hours per year of service. If you wish to volunteer please contact us (contact information below)
Our Vision
BIG Little Science Centre will inspire our community’s children, their families and our teachers to explore and experience science in an entertaining and stimulating environment. It will nurture a life long appreciation for and interest in science within its audience. Increasingly, BIG Little Science Centre will be a loved and respected institution that is open and accessible to all members of our community and beyond.
