While we’re grateful for funding that helps make Be A Kid possible, it doesn’t cover the full cost of running these experiences. We never want cost to be the reason a child misses out, so if you’re able to pay a little more, you’ll help another family attend and support us in bringing more Be A Kid experiences to our community.

-Competing in team-based S.T.E.A.M. challenges
-Exploring heat transfer and structural engineering
-Testing creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills

-Discovering how S.T.E.A.M. can bring communities together and create a sense of belonging
What to Know Before You Go
To help everyone have a safe, fun, and enjoyable day together, please keep the following in mind:
-Children must be supervised by their caregiver(s) at all times.
-Caregiver participation is welcomed and encouraged. We hope you’ll join in the fun.
- Parking is VERY limited (including time-limited to 2hrs). We strongly encourage transiting or carpooling if possible. It is close to Main St Science World Skytrain station as well as Bus #84 from VCC skytrain or 99-B Line. If you need accessible parking, please reach out to us ahead of time.
-If you or your child have any accessibility, mobility, sensory, or other support needs, please let us know during registration. We’ll do our best to accommodate everyone so all families can participate comfortably.
-If you bring snacks, please help us keep everyone safe by bringing nut-free foods only.
Everyone attending must be registered.
Please *register* every adult and child attending (excluding babes in arms), even if they aren’t participating in every activity. This helps us prepare for the day, ensure everyone’s safety, and meet venue capacity requirements. Unregistered attendees may be refused entry.

Why Be A Kid?
Every child deserves the chance to simply be a kid.
To play freely. To explore with confidence. To try something new. To see themselves reflected in the families around them. To build friendships, confidence, and joyful memories that last long after the day is over.
For many Black, Indigenous, and Children of Colour, barriers like cost, representation, safety, and belonging can make these experiences harder to access.
Be a Kid exists to change that.
We believe that when children and families experience genuine belonging, something powerful begins to grow. Be a Kid events deliver moments of joy while also creating the conditions for children and families to thrive.
Through outdoor adventures, creative experiences, cultural learning, and community events, we bring families together to laugh, play, explore, build relationships, and strengthen community.
Our events are:
-Designed for BIPOC children and their immediate families/caregivers.
-Warmly welcoming of white-presenting children with racial heritage and white caregivers of BIPOC children.
-Created to build belonging, nurture relationships, and strengthen community through joyful shared experiences.
We acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.
We’re grateful for this funding, which helps make Be A Kid possible. While it doesn’t cover the full cost of creating these experiences, it plays an important role in helping more children and families access opportunities for play, belonging, and connection.
A big thank you to Ethọ́s Lab for welcoming our Be A Kid families for an engaging, hands-on S.T.E.A.M. experience. We truly value your partnership, enthusiasm, and commitment to building community together!
Thank you as well to every family, volunteer, donor, and community partner whose support helps make Be A Kid possible.
Interested in helping us create more joyful, accessible experiences for BIPOC children and families? We’d love to explore what partnership could look like.
