Program Summary

The goal of our workshops is to introduce participants to concepts in the sciences and engineering, while integrating elements of engineering design, leadership and peer support. These considerations are important to those interested in pursuing STEM at the post-secondary level, for developing STEM literacy, and in contributing to self-actualization in any setting.

These workshops connect engineering to the three overall expectations of the science program in Ontario:

  1. To relate science and technology to society and the environment
  2. To develop the skills, strategies, and habits of mind required for scientific and technological problem solving
  3. To understand the basic concepts of science and technology

These workshops also draw on Ministry guidelines for Leadership and Peer Support (GPP3O) to explore group dynamics, interpersonal relations, and communication, values, problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Program Details

Workshops are not currently available

When our programs are announced, we will post an In-School Workshops brochure to show the programming currently being offered.

In-School Workshops are for grade 3-8 classes.

Our workshops complement and expand on the Ontario science curriculum. Instructors use discovery-based activities to highlight topics in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Four easy steps to reserve a workshop for your class:

  1. Download the In-School Workshops brochure (link will update when applications are open).
  2. Select the workshop or workshops you would like your class to participate in. You can register multiple classes at the same time.
  3. Request a date by filling out our booking form (link will update when applications are open).
  4. After we receive your form, we will contact you by email to confirm dates. Once the date is confirmed, we will send you a confirmation and invoice.

Class Size

Each workshop is normally limited to a maximum of 30 students. If there are more than 30 students in your class, however, we will do our best to accommodate you. Please contact us at outreach@engineering.utoronto.ca if your class has more than 30 students.

Workshop Fees

Booking In-School Workshops with other teachers in your school is the most cost-effective way to bring this enriching program to your classroom. Packages can be split among different grade levels and classrooms (maximum 30 students per workshop) within your school, but all workshops must occur on the same day.

Prices will be announced when applications open.
