We offer programming designed to inspire children and youth across the Yukon in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Trades (STEM) through creative hands-on activities. Our programming provides fun, engaging, culturally enriched activities that encourages children and youth to explore their sense of wonder. Children are introduced to hands-on, exciting activities that promotes discovery, rewards curiosity, and leaves children amazed at what they can do.
Junior Astronauts
Are your students excited by new challenges? Do they like to dream big? With help from the Canadian Space Agency and Yukon CubeSat, we are bringing space workshops to classrooms across Yukon to ignite youth’s interest. Educators can reach out to book a visit or receive resources to deliver their own activities.
Coding in the Classroom
Do you know a teacher who wants to integrate digital skills, coding, and design into their classes? Let them know we’d love to bring our tech party to their school! Our mobile workshops include hands-on, engaging activities for students, using robots and computers to help communicate curriculum concepts.
Inventor’s Academy (11-14 year olds)
Do you know a youth who loves thinking creatively and hands on learning? Partnering with Skills Canada Yukon, the Inventors’ Academy after-school club follows an entrepreneur’s creation process from start to finish, exploring how different trades and technologies come together to turn an idea into a reality. From blueprint making and 3D modelling to cinematography and graphic design, students will use the trades to explore the concepts of planning, branding, advertisement and prototyping to help bring their ideas to life. The program will run September to December. Advanced registration is required.
Sustainable STEM Club (7-8 year olds) / (9-10 year olds)
Science experiments, coding robots, and team design challenges all with a focus on sustainability for the future! Whether your child is just getting curious or is already obsessive about STEM, these activities will get them engaged with a meaningful and innovative approach. Programs will run September to December. Advanced registration is required.
Girls Tech Club (7-10 year olds)
Girls face distinct barriers when developing STEM skills and seeing themselves as future experts in STEM fields.
