Technology is the word kids and families get to play with on Monday at The Exploration Place.

The city's museum and science centre is partnering with Science World BC to provide the Tech-Up Showcase on the statutory holiday, when admission is free to the facility.

"Visit our galleries and join us in a celebration of Tech-Up, The Exploration Place and Science World's initiative to support local teachers and students to develop coding and computational thinking skills," said Amanda Smedley, manager of community engagement at The Exploration Place.

The focus on tech happens between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. with the special guests from computer and elecro-data world.

"Explore fun coding and computational thinking activities, and learn from the teachers and students who have been participating in the Tech-Up Program this year," Smedley said.

Thanks to funding support from Science World BC, the Government of Canada's CanCode program, and the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, the doors of The Exploration Place can be open to all, free of charge, all day Monday.
