On our way to making a nerdier future, our High School Work Experience Program, presented by Discovery Foundation offers Metro Vancouver students in Grades 11 and 12 the opportunity to gain valuable STEAM-based work experience at Science World. There are projected to be hundreds of thousands of new STEAM jobs in the next decade and Science World is helping to create the ‘Made in BC’ talent that will fill them.
These hands-on placements are three-weeks-long (60 to 80 hours) and are aligned with the school-year calendar. Teachers are invited to sign up students they feel would benefit from a placement at Science World. Students enrolled in work experience programs with allocated time for placements will be given priority during registration.
