This Jeopardy-style challenge is an event highlight and a huge hit among all attendees. Our Discovery Centre science educators develop a series of multiple-choice skill testing questions that are displayed on the large screen at the front of the room.

The Discovery Awards is the go-to event for forging connections with the corporate, academic and research communities—all while supporting the Discovery Centre’s charitable mission. Table sponsors are welcome to share a single table sponsorship with another organization. For shared table sponsorship, both organizations receive recognition on the table reservation stand. Interested in sponsoring a table but unable to attend? This is an excellent opportunity to host individuals who would not normally be able to attend Discovery Awards but would benefit from the experience. Table sponsors have made it possible for science students, volunteers, and other community members to join in the celebration.
