This workshop is designed to introduce students to the wonderful world of science and to introduce them to some of the concepts that they will be learning in Grade 1.

New Curriculum

Students will investigate the strengths and weaknesses of different shapes then design and test what takes those shapes to their limits! What bendy builds will you make?

New & Old Curriculum

Through hands-on activities and technology, students will explore larger patterns in weather and how the changing seasons directly affect the world around us.

Old Curriculum

Deconstruct what makes a city and how shapes make up everything around us. Use these tools to construct various strong structures for your miniature city. 

New Curriculum 

Students will take a closer look at what materials are used to create different boats and why. Then test out their theories by building a boat to hold weighted objects.

New Curriculum 

Students will explore the inner workings of the human ear and how we can distinguish different sounds. Then build a device that brings it all together!

Old Curriculum 

Explore magnetism, renewable energy and how polarity can be used to create an “invisible” force. Students will build a vehicle that runs on the power of magnets!

Old Curriculum 

Through planning, building, and testing, students will create a boat to discover what sinks and what floats! Learning about buoyancy is easy in a hands-on environment.

New Curriculum

Students will follow the journey of water through its cycle on a small scale, the learn about states of matter in a hands-on experiment they can take home.

New & Old Curriculum 

Explore all the forces that can affect buildings and what makes a strong structure. Students will build and test to see if their design can stand up to the elements.

Old Curriculum

Students will explore the inner workings of the human ear and how we can distinguish different sounds. Then build a device that brings it all together!

New Curriculum

Explore magnetism, renewable energy, and how polarity can act as an “invisible” force. Students will build a vehicle that runs on the power of magnets!

New Curriculum 

Workshop coming soon!

Old Curriculum 

Designing and creating a device that moves is only step one. While using LittleBits, students are then challenged with creating different circuits to add to their creations!

Old Curriculum

Light is more than what the eye can see! Learn about the different properties of light and build a spectroscope to uncover what white light really is.

New Curriculum

3, 2, 1... Blast off! After learning about how engineers build and design things that fly, students will have the chance to make their own and use newton’s laws to launch them!

New & Old Curriculum

Using the scientific method and new chemistry skills, students will investigate a series of chemical reactions to help solve the mystery of the lab!

Old Curriculum

Students will be introduced to parts of a circuit and put their creativity to the test by wiring a Makey Makey piano with conductive materials.

New Curriculum

Students will be blown away as they build and construct a working windmill that produces electricity to learn about renewable energy sources.

New Curriculum

Space is the final FUN-tier in this hands-on design challenge. Students will learn about the importance of space travel, then build and test their very own lunar lander.

Old Curriculum

Students will use their detective skills to identify patterns in fingerprints then see what other unique characteristics organisms have while doing a fruit DNA extraction!

Old Curriculum

Space travel is an expensive industry! Students will learn about renewable resources and aerospace engineering while challenged to build landing gear for Falcon 9.

What is the difference between heat and temperature? Students will put Particle Theory to the test by coding an Arduino thermometer gauge.

Students will work to build a system of structures that will be able to withstand both uniform and varying loads and explore how engineering fits into our everyday lives.

Students will explore how light moves and put that knowledge into action as they build and code a light sensing device with an Arduino and breadboard!

In a society headed towards automation, students will design a robot that uses simple machines to their advantage and explore principals of mechanical engineering.

Scratch is a great first step into the world of coding! Students will learn the basics of block coding and how to create their own custom musical words. Computers are required for this workshop

Ozobots allow us to understand the fundamentals of coding without touching a computer! Learn how to code and direct these bots using colourful markers.

Spheros allow us to explore how speed and momentum can play a big part in movement. Students will use code blocks to maneuver this robot efficiently through a track.

Using micro:bits students will learn how to code a simple input/output game that will put their creativity and hand-eye coordination skills to the test. 

The Makey Makey brings circuits to life! Students will design their own conductive buttons, learn circuit basics, and code a simple program to connect everything together.
