Science Venture Workshops

It’s like a field trip but in your classroom!  

Designed to meet Learning Standards from the BC Science and ADST Curriculum - we bring the field trip to you and introduce Big Ideas in a fun and engaging way!

Two enthusiastic university students from the Science Venture Team join your Grade K-8 classroom for a two-hour STEM (science, engineering or technology) workshop. These dynamic workshops are curriculum specific, and include engaging demonstrations, interactive experiments, and educational games. Our workshops ignite passion for STEM in students and provide positive university role models. Workshop sessions can be booked between the morning (9am - 12pm) or afternoon (12pm - 3pm).

Download our 2026 Spring Workshop Season Menu. Our 2026 workshops are from May 11th to June 12th, 2026.

Workshops are usually booked by BC Elementary and Middle Schools as well as Home School Groups. We are able to travel around Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands! Please inquire about booking workshops outside of Victoria.
