STEM Workshops
Electricity Workshop
Fun, curriculum-tested, hands-on STEM sessions for your classroom!
Our workshops are STEM activity sessions designed for school classes or community centres. They consist of exciting demonstrations, interactive experiments, and hands-on activities exploring specific science, engineering and technology based topics.
When you book a workshop from us, one of our incredible instructors will visit your classroom equipped with supplies, enthusiasm, and excitement for a jam-packed science, engineering, and technology workshop! Our instructors are university students studying in a STEM or education-related field. Upon completion of the workshops, we hope your class will have developed an excitement for science, engineering, and technology while interacting with positive university role models.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our workshops are designed, tried and tested in line the Manitoba School Science Curriculum.

What’s New? Workshops Update
Our workshop request portal opens on October 12th, 2026 and
Workshop delivery begins on November 9th*, 2026.
New Workshops Alert: We’ll be adding new workshops to our programming this Fall! More details to be published soon.
Stand Alone Workshops: All our workshops have now been categorized according to their respective grade levels. We no longer have workshops covering a grade range (i.e. Simple Machines Gr 4 -6, is now Simple Machines Gr. 5)
New Workshop Request Form Feature: Coming soon!
New Workshop Price: All our workshops excluding “Leaf it to Us!” now cost $75!
We have also made the difficult decision to increase workshop fees overall this year, as rising costs make it necessary to sustain the quality of our programming.
We’re working to ensure we provide our kids with quality and exciting workshops that are aligned with the Manitoba School Curriculum.
