Praxis Science Outreach Society

Thank you for your interest in Science Outreach in Southeastern Alberta. Our communities need science-savvy citizens to make sense of a rapidly changing world. Our employers need scientific literate employees to exercise their critical thinking and technical skills to further their goals. The Praxis Science Outreach Society aims to help Southeastern Albertans develop a love and understanding of science that will support them throughout their lives. Our vision is to foster a dynamic community inspired and empowered by knowledge and appreciation of science. We want to help people understand the power of science in order to give our region a competitive advantage and make Southeast Alberta a great (or “an even better”) place to live.

Praxis offers a number of programs for all ages:
