The Timberlands Branch of the Red Deer Public Library is hosting a hands-on science workshop for local youth on March 19, 2026, in Red Deer, Alberta. The event, titled Red Hot Science: Rock-Paper-Scissors… Circuits!, will give children a chance to learn about electronics and engineering through interactive activities.

The session is part of the Red Hot Science outreach program managed by Red Deer Polytechnic. This initiative brings instructors and students from the polytechnic into the community to help young people explore subjects like technology and computer coding.

During the one-hour class, which runs from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, participants will work on projects that involve basic circuitry. The workshop is designed to make complex topics like engineering more approachable for children through practical, hands-on learning.

By partnering with local libraries, the program aims to encourage curiosity about technology and science in the community. These sessions are part of a regular effort to help students build new skills and learn how modern electronics work.
