Saturday Science Clubs
Saturday Science Clubs features hands on science and engineering projects and activities for youth in grades 1 and up on Saturdays. These 3 hour club meetings are split into classes by grade so that all children will be challenged and have fun with campers at the same grade as themselves.
Dates included:
| Session #1 | Saturday January 20, 2024 |
| Session #2 | Saturday, January 27, 2024 |
| Session #3 | Saturday, February 3, 2024 |
| Session #4 | Saturday, February 10, 2024 |

| Session #7 | Saturday March 9, 2024 |
Please note that there will be no meetings on:
- February 17th due to the Family Day long weekend
Everyone gathers at the main entrance (lobby) of the Engineering building for check-in at 9 am. There will be sign-in tables where the campers will meet. From there the SCI-FI instructors will lead their groups to their classrooms. The instructors will lead everyone back to the main entrance for check-out at 12 pm.
The Saturday Science Clubs program will include tours on campus, science activities and engineering projects. We try to change the take-home projects year after year in such a way to minimize the chance of a student building the same project two years in a row.
For Students in grades 1 to 6: Each week features a different theme in science and engineering. The curriculum is also completely different in each term. Topics from the last year included biology, logic, space, health science, chemistry, technology, rocks and fossils, physics, computer science, and environmental science.
Offered Clubs
Grade 1-2: CuriosityGrade 3-4: Discovery
Grade 5-6: Enterprise
Grade 7+: Codemakers
Using Minecraft, participants in Codemakers will learn the methods of software development using logic and coding algorithms using the Python coding language. Coding experience is not necessary. Returning participants will be challenged by new adventures.
Cost and Bursaries
For 7 three-hour meetings during the school year, the cost of a regular Saturday Science Clubs is $160.00 per term.
We do distribute a few sponsored bursaries each term. If you have any questions about our bursary program, contact us by email or call us at 306-966-7755.
