Vaughan Fun Fairs
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.
Our 2026 Fun Fairs
Forest Run Public School
On June 4, 2026, YRES participated in the Forest Run Public School Fun Fair. Our team set up an interactive activity booth designed to engage local students and families through hands-on learning. Throughout the event, visitors of all ages stopped by to explore our LEGO-based science, robotics, and art stations. Team members connected directly with parents and children, introducing them to YRES's educational programs, community initiatives, and upcoming seasonal camps.
