About BLSC
The BIG Little Science Centre (BLSC), located in Kamloops, BC, was started in February 2000 by Gordon R. Gore, a retired BIG Little Science Centre Photos GIF science teacher who has dedicated his life to teaching science in an interactive environment. The Centre currently operates out of four classrooms leased from School District 73 at Bert Edwards Science and Technology School. The current program format allows visitors a period of time to experiment on their own at any of 120 plus hands-on stations located in two classrooms. A third room is used for demonstrations while the fourth room is used for demonstrations and serves as a basic teaching laboratory with capacity for 32 visitors.
