Boost your child’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills with Ontario Tech University’s Engineering Outreach!
The virtual c_wonder STEM Workshop introduces participants (students who have completed Grades 1 to 4) to the fundamentals of the engineering design process. Each week will focus on different engineering themes, and students will be guided through hands-on activities. Participants will be using commonly found household materials to design and build their projects in addition to online software.
Engineering Outreach will be supporting youth through this course; no previous experience is required!
Presented in partnership with Engineering Outreach, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Ontario Tech University.
