Curiosity Crawl
Starring – MCYU Student Facilitators
At our Curiosity Crawl, young folks and families have the opportunity to participate in TWO MCYU Workshops.
MCYU workshops are facilitated by McMaster Students enrolled in COMMUNITY BASED LEARNING WITH MCYU. Our students cannot wait to share their workshops with you. Join us on campus and get ready to Question, Discover, Create!
At MCYU, it is important to us that our programs remain accessible to all. Our Family Lectures and MCYU in the City workshops will continue to be free.
If you are able and feel inclined to support our free programs – MCYU Family Lectures, MCYU in the City Workshops – you can make a donation. Your generous donations help to keep the majority of our programming free and accessible to all across the Greater Hamilton Area.

Help us cut back on creating waste from water bottles and bring a reusable water bottle for the day.
Registration/check-in (Burke Science Building)
Check-in starts at 12:15 p.m. Upon checking in, you will be given a map and bracelets for the workshops you have signed up for when you registered online.
Parent waiting room
Parents who do not want to sit in on the workshops are welcome to hang out in the designated waiting room in the Burke Science Building. We ask that you meet your child at the end of the workshop to help them get to their next destination. There will be volunteers around to help guide people, but we will not be providing one-on-one supervision.
Parental supervision
Parents are required to stay on site with their children. MCYU staff and volunteers are trained to assist children and youth but cannot assume responsibility for the safety and well-being of children left unattended in the building.
MCYU policies and services are designed to provide a safe and welcoming environment for customers of all ages but parents need to use the same caution with their children on McMaster’s campus as they would in any other public setting.
Responsibility for the welfare and the behaviour of children at MCYU’s Curiosity Crawl ultimately rests with the parent/legal guardian or an assigned caregiver. MCYU recognizes the terms as stipulated in the Ontario Child and Family Services Act (CFSA) with regard to the supervision of children.
