Ylab Maker Night at the DDO - Whatever project you want!

Come out and join Ylab for a maker night at the DDO. Keep working on your robotics toy hack. Get away from the rest of the world and work on some software (bring your own phone for Internet access. We're working on that.). Bring another project. Maybe get some help on it. Check out the latest on our advanced light sabre engineering. See if you can get one of the 3D printers running. Add to our collective strong backs and weak minds as we move some furniture around and do some work to get the place organised.

UofT Planetarium: The Quest for Life in the Universe

Showtimes: 7:00pm, 8:00pm, and 9:00pm Are we alone? This question has inspired scientific research for millenia, but in the last fifty years astronomers have taken the first tentative steps toward answering it. In this planetarium show, we journey to the worlds of our Solar System, from Mars to Saturn’s moons Enceladus and Titan, in search of environments that could potentially foster life. We then travel hundreds of light-years away from the Sun to explore some of the most extreme, most bizarre and most Earth-like extrasolar planets discovered to date.
