CLASSROOM WORKSHOPS – LOWER MAINLAND
COVID-19 Notes
Geering Up is working hard to set up our STEM workshops to be delivered virtually in May & June 2021. Stay tuned for more information in January 2021. We are able to offer a very limited number of virtual workshops from January – April 2021 to select schools. If you are interested in these workshops, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us at workshops@geeringup.ca.
General Information
Geering Up’s 1 to 1.5 hour workshops bring STEM into the classroom with interactive demonstrations, activities, and take-home projects led by our instructors. Teachers can sit back, relax, and watch their students engage in the fun of science and engineering. Our highly-trained instructors will adapt each workshop to suit the individual strengths and challenges of each class. All of our workshops are catered to the BC PLOs for grades K-12. Please contact us to discuss how we can customize our workshops for your group.
