SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

Fun, curriculum-tested, hands-on STEM sessions for your classroom!

Our workshops are STEM activity sessions designed for school classes, organizations or communities within Winnipeg and up to 1.5 hours outside the city. 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 STEM while interacting with positive university role models.
