Has your child ever come home raving about the hands-on science investigations they did at school, or the rock star scientist who inspired them to dream big? Chances are, they became a scientist with Scientists in School!
 |
Since 1989, over 10 million kids in Canada have experienced Scientists in School’s science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workshops in classroom and community settings. In a typical Scientists in School workshop, a visiting scientist leads students through a series of hands-on science investigations. Due to COVID-19, the charity is now offering their engaging STEM workshops virtually to parents, educators and community groups through their new 4-week Virtual STEM Club, birthday parties, holiday parties, classroom workshops, and more.
Every child receives their own Mini Science Kit (provided in advance) filled with hands-on investigative materials they get to keep. Just like in an in-person Scientists in School workshop, a scientist leads kids through fun and relevant investigations that build critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills – virtually!
Scientists in School’s 4-Week Virtual STEM Clubs offer:
- A hands-on, highly investigative weekly experience from your home
- Individually packaged materials sent to your home
- Dynamic presenters who are scientists, engineers, and technologists who will keep your young scientist actively engaged
