In School Workshops (Grade 9)

In School Workshop (Grade 9) Banner

Each Spring, Western Engineering Outreach offers in-school workshops for secondary schools. Our main goals are that students have fun and get curious while growing their awareness and enjoyment of STEM. Our workshop offerings complement the Grade 9 Science Curriculum by way of STEM Investigation Skills A1.3: apply an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems.

Energetic Western Engineering Outreach instructors travel within London and the surrounding areas to deliver in-school workshops to Grade 9 students to share their love of STEM.
