"We are very grateful that these workshops are available to public schools students. The science world hosts are engaging dynamic presenters and offer interesting and timely topics. It is not always an option to take kids to Science World and so these online experiences provide an in classroom experience that is affordable." - Charles Dickens Annex

During the Workshop

In-class Students

Only one computer needs to connect to the online meeting platform. This computer should be connected to the classroom projector and to an audio system in the room so students can see and hear facilitators. Your laptop speakers will not be loud enough.
Ensure the audio and video are working prior to the workshop and have the camera and microphone on your computer facing the students if possible. This helps our facilitators gauge their engagement and understanding.

Remote Students

Internet access to the meeting platform.

Min/Max Student Numbers

10–30 students, 30 maximum per session.

Log on to the online meeting platform 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Science World staff are available to test your tech set up if needed. Please email [email protected] to schedule a time.

Be the Bridge

We need you to be the bridge between the facilitator and your students – we will need your help calling on students to answer our questions or to ask their own.
Science World will not record the workshop.

We hope that your workshop sparked some interest and curiosity in your students! To keep the learning going, check out our post-workshop resources, where you'll find a curated list of activities, ideas, and websites that build on the knowledge from today's workshop.

Additionally, to expand your own knowledge incorporating digital skills and technologies in your classroom and pedagogy, check out our Teacher Professional Development workshops. We have a variety of topics and delivery options (we can do online, at Science World, at your school, or at conferences!)

And finally, browse our Science Store to stock up on technology you can use in your classroom for 10% off today!

As an alternative to a workshop or field trip to Science World, bring STEAM into your classroom via our volunteer-based program, Scientists and Innovators in Schools (SIS).
