On September 20th, the Ontario Science Centre proudly presented Celebrate Black Excellence, a vibrant program honouring the achievements, innovation, and creativity of Black communities across science, technology, and culture.
Visitors of all ages explored the world of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) through three distinct themes: Flight and Robotics, Medical Science, and Music. As part of the celebration, I had the honour of performing and leading an all-ages, hands-on steelpan workshop, introducing participants to the history, science, and joy of this iconic instrument through rhythm, movement, and play.
Developed in collaboration with community leaders, educators, artists, and scientists, Celebrate Black Excellence created a welcoming space for learning, connection, and discovery. Rooted in the spirit of Black History Month, the program reflected an ongoing commitment to inclusive education—because Black excellence is not limited to one month, but is a legacy that continues to shape our world.
