Step by step

How the day unfolds

  1. A 30-minute opening show

    An interactive science show full of surprising experiments grabs everyone’s attention right away.

  2. Hands-on workshops

    Participants split into small groups for science workshops adapted to their age, so everyone can handle, test and discover.

  3. The grand finale

    Everyone gathers again for the second part of the show, with new surprises and spectacular experiments.

Your team stays free

Throughout the day, our team leads the activities. Staff can take part with the children or use the time for other tasks, as needed.

Depending on your budget and needs, we adapt the program to create a Pro-D day that fits your group, completely turnkey: a day where kids learn, experiment and leave with stars in their eyes.

  • Maximum 25 children per science workshop group
  • Maximum 20 per robotics group
  • No minimum or maximum for shows
  • iPads, robots, mats and Apple TV supplied for robotics

  • J'ai assisté à une démonstration sur la chimie et ce fut excellent, j accompagnais un groupe de jeunes et ils ont gardé leur concentration tout le long. Ils ont adoré et ce fut instructif, Éric en plus d'être drôle , connaît très bien sa ma matière .

  • Une équipe dynamite! Ce sont des fous de la science. Mes enfants se rappellent encore des ateliers donnés dans leur classe au primaire. "Ah oui, c'était super cool avec Profaqua!" ;) Et maintenant ils offrent un camps d'été, mais mes enfants n'ont plus l'âge. Snif. Salut à toute l'équipe Profaqua!
