Fun fairs are where a lot of families meet YRES for the first time. Our team sets up LEGO art, science and robotics stations, runs a prize wheel, and spends the afternoon building alongside the students who stop by. Parents get to ask about summer camp; older students find out about getting involved with us.

​

No two fairs are the same. At one school, students designed their own LEGO cars when a robotics kit turned up incomplete. At another, a motor failed before the event and the team rebuilt the robot in time to open, then a community member donated a box of LEGO on the spot. Elsewhere, students worked through coding challenges on LEGO Spike Prime and stayed to see their solutions run.

​

Across the 2026 season we ran booths in seven York Region municipalities: Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville, East Gwillimbury and Georgina.

​

Every one of these days takes a team willing to give up a Saturday. Thank you to them, and to the schools who made room for us.
