Science World is committed
to supporting teachers in BC.
As we face unprecedented challenges for teaching and learning, our goal is to continue to support you to create great STEM learning experiences for your students. On this page you will find highlighted activities from our Resources, curated links and opportunities to connect with our educators through workshops and direct sessions.
In an abundance of caution with COVID-19, Science World is planning online alternatives for our province-wide school support offerings. We will notify teachers of new offerings through our educator's newsletter.

Online Professional Development
Science World is now offering professional development online. We'll share ideas for integrating computational thinking and coding into your practice.
Our team of educators can design and deliver a workshop to meet your school/district professional development needs. Find out more.
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:
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
We have hundreds of free resources that can easily be done at home, using common household materials. Here are just a few of our favourites! Head over to our Resources page to see more.
Air— Explore the impressive force of air and learn how air pressure affects your daily life.
Flight— Demystify lift, gravity, thrust and drag and examine how they all contribute to flight.
Coastal Connections— Investigate ecosystems that interact within the ocean and the impact of human activities have on them.
Life of a Salmon— Identify the different stage of a salmon's lifecycle and learn what factors that affect their survival.

STEAM Days of Summer
With the current restrictions in BC, Science World has made the difficult decision not to run STEAM Day of Summer this year.
STEAM Days of Summer is Science World's multi-day summer professional learning workshop for educators. Participants delve into innovative strategies for teaching STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and design, and math) while networking with colleagues throughout BC.
