MONTRÉAL, June 20, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - The Montréal Science Centre successfully achieved its attempt at a title and will now be entered in the book of GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS®.
Attempting to set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title is a unique opportunity that involves meticulous effort! The world's largest slime-making lesson involved 491 participants and was hosted by the Montréal Science Centre in conjunction with its newest feature exhibition The Science of Guinness World Records®.
Led by the colourful chemist Yannick Bergeron in collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal's Chemical Engineering Department, this official attempt event allowed young participants and their parents to understand the science of slime and to make their very own batches of slime. Two science-based slime recipes were followed by all those who took part. Both recipes included most unusual and high-quality ingredients and all participants were able to take their slime home.
Science Centre Director Cybèle Robichaud was delighted: "We're so proud! We can now say that the Montréal Science Centre holds an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title! That's no small feat! Congratulations to everyone who took part and to the entire team who made the event possible. With this new title in hand, we continue to make our mark as a place of science that inspires young minds and sparks their interest in science and technology."
Those who took part in the attempt also had access to the entire Science Centre throughout the day on June 19, including its newest exhibition The Science of Guinness World Records®.
For the very first time in Québec, an exhibition that explores the science that lies behind Guinness World Records®! An opportunity to discover the secrets behind different feats, listen to testimonials of record-holders, and attempt to set a Guinness World Records® title too.
