Description
DiscoverE delivers engineering and science classroom workshops in a fun and interactive way! Workshops are presented by a pair of enthusiastic, highly-trained University of Alberta student instructors who bring in all the materials and take care of the clean-up. Student participants will get a take-home project to keep or complete an engineering challenge. Our instructors also act as role-models in higher education to the youth in workshops.
All of our workshops are designed to enhance Alberta Learning Curriculum topics through exciting demonstrations, interactive experiments, and a fun hands-on activity. Workshops function as excellent unit introductions or reviews.
