We are beyond excited to invite you to a one-of-a-kind silent auction. Jay Ingram, the beloved science broadcaster and author, has opened the doors of his personal library and generously donated an assortment of book bundles for this exclusive auction. But wait, there’s more! Each bundle comes with a personalized message from Jay, making it a treasured keepsake for years to come. From riveting tales of scientific adventures to thought-provoking narratives, these bundles capture the essence of Jay’s passion for exploring the wonders of our world.

The proceeds from this auction will support Beakerhead, a program of  registered charity Spark Science Centre that fuses art, science, and engineering to create awe-inspiring experiences that ignite creativity and innovation. By participating in “From the Library of Jay Ingram,” you’ll not only have the chance to own a piece of Jay’s legacy but also contribute to a cause that sparks imagination and fosters learning in our community. So, put on your bidding hats, prepare for some friendly competition, and let’s make a difference together!
