Coding Unplugged (K-6): (FREE)

Making coding accessible for all by using simple step-by-step instructions (algorithms) to communicate with others. Separating everyday activities like learning a dance, to retelling a story, to following a recipe into computational thinking! Join us for this hands-on workshop and explore a variety of coding activities without any technology. A cross-curricular approach with infinite opportunities! 

This workshop is offered virtually and in person.

Math & Computational Thinking (K-9): (FREE)

This workshop is offered virtually and in person.

Digital Literacy & A.I. (Gr. 4-9): (FREE)

What is digital literacy? It is a means by which we filter and analyze information around us. Participants will explore digital literacy by reflecting on how technology and media can colour our understanding of the world. Learn to teach students to find effective, safe, and inclusive methods to search for information in the digital age today. 

This workshop is offered virtually and in person.

Introductions to Technologies (K-12): (Free)

Do you have access to Micro:bits, Finch Robots, Ozobots, or Edisons and need to learn how to use them? Did you sign up for access to our loaner kits and need to learn how to use the tech? Let us teach you the basics and give you some strategies for incorporating the technology in your current curricular areas as we focus on coding to learn.

This workshop is only offered in person.

STEAM Days of Summer is Science World’s annual 5-day summer professional development learning program for BC educators. Participants delve into ways of teaching STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art & design, and math) using a cross-curricular approach while networking with colleagues.

Join your colleagues from the Lower Mainland for five full days of hands-on learning centred on STEAM education in your classrooms with a focus on cross-curricular digital skills and technology. Each day you’ll participate in 3 dynamic sessions presented by a mix of your colleagues, Science World educators, and local organizations as we dive into the deep end of incorporating the ADST curriculum into other topic areas. 

Our theme for 2023 was "Designing for the Future." Our cohort of teachers spent the week focusing on strategies for developing digital literacy skills across the curriculum and exploring suitable coding methods and tools to support this.
