c_wonder: Community STEM Clubs
c_wonder: Community STEM Clubs offers programming to students in Grades 1-8 who have a desire to explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in challenging and creative ways. Our programs have been designed to introduce youth to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts including engineering design, scientific inquiry and coding. The curriculum for these programs is aligned to the Ontario Curriculum in the areas of science, technology and mathematics. Each session explores a STEM theme through fun, discovery-based activities. Currently, we offer clubs in the fall, winter, spring and summer.
Each week will focus on different engineering themes, and students will be guided through hands-on activities. Because our programs will be offered online, participants will be using commonly found household materials to design and build their projects.
For Winter 2021 our programs will be open to youth in grades 3 to 8 during the 2020 - 2021 school year. We will be having a Beginner and Intermediate level for each of our courses that our staff will place participants into based on a few questions in our registration form. This will help us tailor our content for each group's specific needs. Each group will explore activities related to science, engineering design, coding and artificial intelligence.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our programming for the 2020/2021 school year will be running virtually.
