Over the past three years I have not only studied physics and education but also worked with Geering Up UBC Engineering and Science for kids to promote STEM education around the province.
Last year as the workshop coordinator I worked with teachers and administrators around the province to bring STEM workshops into their schools. A highlight was being able to provide 33% of workshops for free to inner city schools working towards the mission of providing accessible STEM education to all BC students. Below are pictures of some of the projects and demos we did at both our in school science workshops as well as the on campus summer camps.
