It’s like a field trip but in your classroom!  

Designed to meet Learning Standards from the BC Science and ADST Curricula - we bring the field trip to you and introduce Big Ideas in a fun and engaging way!

  • Two enthusiastic university students from the Science Venture Team join your classroom for a two-hour STEM (science, engineering or technology) workshop. These dynamic workshops are curriculum specific, and include engaging demonstrations, interactive experiments, and educational games. Our workshops ignite passion for STEM in students and provide positive university role models. Workshop sessions can be booked for either the morning (9am - 12pm) or afternoon (12pm - 3pm).

  • BC Elementary and Middle Schools as well as Home School Groups.

  • Our 2024 Spring Workshop Season will take place between May 13th and June 14th, 2024.
