Workshops > On-Campus
Science AL!VE offers on-campus workshops from September to April. Each two hour workshop is designed for classes and groups of participants currently in grades 2 through 7. On-campus workshops expose participants to the University environment while they explore the dynamic fields of science, technology and engineering. Topics for the 2012/ 2013 on-campus workshops are listed below.
Our workshops combine theory and application with interactive hands-on activities, experiments and demonstrations. All workshops are developed to correspond to the 2005 Prescribed Learning Outcomes for grades 2 - 7.
