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.

Science World will provide the necessary participant materials for the lesson as well as ongoing support in the preparation and delivery of your session. Keep this in mind during your school year and consider applying to present next year when applications open.

You will automatically be enrolled for participation in STEAM Days with your presenter application and will receive early access to afternoon session registrations. In the event that we receive more applications for presentations than we can accommodate in our weekly schedule, we will review all topics and aim to provide a variety of options and grade levels.

Please complete the application in full to register your interest in attending. Only fully completed forms will be considered. We encourage you to apply for this opportunity with other educators from your school, we can take a maximum of three educators from one school but is dependent on space availability. In the event that we receive more applications than we have spots available, priority will be given to new participants.
