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 with the Manitoba School Science Curriculum.
For example, check out our Rosie Revere Balloon Car workshop for Grade 2, or our Indigenous Structures for Grades 3-7!
