If your idea of a good Friday night involves biomechanics, themed cocktails, and an inflatable curling rink, Telus Spark Science Centre has you covered. Science of Sports: Spark After Dark takes over the venue tomorrow, April 10, from 6 p.m. to midnight — and it's 18+ only.
Guests can choose their own experience: the Gold Medal Track for those who want to dig into elite performance science or the All-Star After Party Track for neon chaos and experiments built around fun. Either way, there's plenty to do: LED mini golf, a hockey slapshot lane, grip strength challenges with motion capture technology, and adrenaline science with Skydive Extreme Calgary, among others.
The Canadian Sport Institute Alberta is running workshops on movement science and high-performance training, UCalgary Kinesiology is bringing injury-prevention labs, and a Health in Sports Panel will feature a cardiologist, registered dietitian, and sport psychologist. Live fencing demonstrations run at 8:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., and DJ C-SIK keeps things moving all night with R&B, funk, disco, and hip-hop.
For those who want to take the night up a notch, an add-on axe throwing workshop with Live Edge Axe Throwing is available.
