Scientists in School is a Canadian charity offering experiential science, technology, engineering, math (STEM), and environmental workshops.

Your inquisitive students, under the guidance of experts, will become scientists, engineers and environmental stewards while developing the global competency skills they need for tomorrow’s workforce.

The value our virtual classroom workshops bring:  Secure and seamless workshop delivery through Microsoft Teams  Individually-packaged mini kits delivered before your workshop  Dynamic presenters who are scientists, engineers, technologists and more  The opportunity to highlight STEM careers, helping students see themselves as future STEM professionals  Post-workshop extension packages to support your lessons  Fun and relevant investigations that build critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, and problem-solving skills

Mini kits include:  Information on kit components  All materials required with the exception of regular classroom supplies and water (when required)  Creative and hands-on STEM fun in a bag, with materials your students can keep!

We work with teachers, school administrators and school boards to ensure that our program aligns with curriculum, student and educator needs. Like you, our goal is to inspire all children to realize their dreams, regardless of their future aspirations.

Our Mission is to ignite scientific curiosity in children so that they question intelligently; learn through discovery; connect scientific knowledge to their world; are excited about science, technology, engineering and math; and have their interest in careers in those fields piqued.

Our Vision is for all young Canadians to be actively engaged in the seeing, doing and understanding of science. To book, visit https://sisbookings.powerappsportals.com/en-US/
