Welcome to the science of computational thinking! In this workshop, students learn how to code using a Code and Go Robot Mouse which can be programmed with travel directions to navigate through mazes.

The goal of this activity is for students to program a mouse to get from the starting position to the cheese wedges without going on squares occupied by cats or mouse traps.

Explore combinations, permutations and why math is relevant in everyday life.

Students will be able to further their knowledge of organic chemistry through further understanding the four main organic compound groups and how they can change!

This workshop focuses on two main topics within the field of Kinesiology: exercise and the Skeletal System.

This workshop will teach students how vaccines work and the importance of vaccines to human public health.

Students will learn some foundational programming concepts and develop computational thinking skills through several screen-free activities.

This hands-on activity explores how to analyze the components of an ecosystem using the scientific tool of the mesocosm. Students will construct a mesocosm to investigate how climate change may affect the sustainability of an ecosystem.

Make a sustainable ecosystem for your organism(s) in a sealed environment - with no access to oxygen or external factors such as rain, air and pollution.

Learners will use their knowledge of AI to ponder and complete a consequence map about the use of AI in the healthcare sector, through exploring a real-life scenario.

Learners develop computational thinking skills through creating a secret handshake.

Learners try to guess their partner’s number by asking the least number of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions.

Learners create a Micro:bit step counter using Make Code.

Learners will use their knowledge of AI and how facial filters work to explore the pros and cons of this rapidly advancing technology.

Learners develop decomposition, pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking by using their knowledge of simple geometric figures to code shapes in Scratch.
