Tech-Up

Through Tech-Up, Science World delivers province-wide programs for students and teachers that include coding, computational thinking and digital skills. During the period of continuity of learning at home we have designed four new initiatives:

• Free virtual workshops for classes Gr 2–9 (subject to availability)
• Learning kits - to support physically distanced teaching or distance learning. Kits include curriculum links, teacher guide, student activities
• Online teacher professional development workshops

Tech-Up is Science World's initiative to enhance existing programs to include coding and computational thinking.
