An exciting adventure in hands on learning!
Activity-centred workshops and programs are geared to the needs of younger students while intermediate and senior students are stimulated with interactive, problem - solving activities, demonstrations and discovery searches . A wealth of information is shared in our pre- and post-visit activities package that accompanies each School Program. School groups can choose from a variety of guided school programs as well as self-guided packages and our new virtual program (classroom resource for teachers). Program Information Programs are available weekdays from September 26 to June 22 and are scheduled between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Duration is generally 90 minutes, but can be modified to suit your requirements.

Students discover, enjoy and marvel at science and technology in school programs designed to
complement school curricula in math, science and technology, and social studies. Our programs
extend the classroom experience, emphasizing active participation, hands-on opportunities and
problem-solving.
We strongly recommend the following ratios for student supervision (by adults) when visiting the Museum. During a Guided Program, Museum Educators encourage teachers and accompanying adults to participate and assist with programs. Proper supervision during free time or with a Self-Guided Program is also essential in creating a safe and fun atmosphere at the Museum.
