We’re excited to announce Science World’s release of an exclusive Expo 86 Summer Capsule. Launching on Wednesday, May 31st, the Expo 86 Summer Capsule Collection features an assortment of products that exude the charm and energy of both Expo 86 and the iconic 80s era. As an extension of the collection’s initial release, the Summer Capsule carries on the Expo 86 logo and the iconic Expo Ernie character while bringing fun and colourful summer flair.
As a non-profit organization, Science World relies on fundraising initiatives to support its critical educational programming across the province. All funds raised by the sales from the entire Expo 86 collection will support essential programming for the non-profit and its mission to expand STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & design, and math) learning.
From tie-dye t-shirts to bucket hats and fanny packs, this limited-run collection combines nostalgic charm with vibrant 80s-inspired summer gear.
Embrace the nostalgia and vibrant spirit of Expo 86 by visiting the Science World gift shop or browsing online at https://shop.scienceworld.ca/collections/expo-86-summer. The URL will be live at 9 am on the 31st.
