Lindsay’s downtown will be abuzz later this month as Pinnguaq welcomes the public to their Level-Up Summer Street Festival, complete with hands-on activities and games, live music, delicious refreshments and family-friendly fun.
Embracing a playful approach to learning, Pinnguaq is thrilled to invite the public to the festival, a celebration of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) education in the Kawartha Lakes and the opening of their new community hub in downtown Lindsay.
Running Thursday, Aug. 29 from 2 to 7 p.m. at 12 Peel St., Lindsay, members of the public can tour the 3500-square foot Makerspace, enjoy hands-on STEAM-powered programming for learners of all ages and visit a tech exploration station. Attendees can also embrace play in a video game lounge or express their creativity in the chalk art zone.
With local musicians, bouncy castles, delicious food and more, this street festival has something for people of all ages.
Pinnguaq is grateful to have partnered with O’Neil and Carroll, a Downeyville/Lindsay-based contractor, and Home by Tim + Chris, a Fenelon Falls-based design firm, to make this hub a reality.
The Makerspace will be home to after-school programming, drop-in programming on weekends and, starting in September, STEAM School.
In addition to the Lindsay Makerspace, Pinnguaq operates a Makerspace in Iqaluit, and supports a Makerspace network from Curve Lake First Nation to a growing number across Nunavut, including Cambridge Bay, Pond Inlet and Saniarjak.
“We’re so excited to be moving to downtown Lindsay and look forward to celebrating the launch of the new hub with this family-friendly, STEAM-powered festival, along with our friends, learner community, partners and local businesses,” says Ryan Oliver, Chief Executive Officer of Pinnguaq.
