In-School Workshops
Throughout the year, Western Engineering Outreach offers in-school workshops for elementary and secondary schools. Our main goals are that students have fun and get curious while growing their awareness and enjoyment of STEM. Many of our workshops complement the Ontario Science and Technology Curriculum. Energetic Western Engineering Outreach instructors travel within London and the surrounding area to deliver workshops to students in kindergarten to Grade 12 to share their love of STEM.
In-School Workshop Descriptions
Cost
Each in-school workshop is 1.5 to 2 hours and costs $150. This includes the cost of delivery and materials for up to 30 students. There is an additional cost of $50 for schools located outside a 50km radius from the University.
Bursaries
Bursaries covering 85% of the cost of the workshop may be available for schools serving youth facing socio-economic challenges or otherwise serving youth under-represented in STEM.
