Teachers and educators: we want to support you! We offer a variety of programs to support your STEM teaching. If you are an educator and want to find out more about our programs, please explore the programs that we offer below.
Hands-On STEM Workshops (currently on hold)
Our workshop volunteers are STEM role models and deliver fun, hands-on STEM activities in their area of expertise. Students in grades K-12 will get to meet real scientists, engineers, and people working in technology and math fields, and hear about what they do!

Northern BC Youth Engagement Program
We want to reach you, wherever you are! With the help of some fantastic funding agencies, we are reaching more girls in rural communities and northern areas of British Columbia. We want to learn more about how we can help inspire and support girls in these communities in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). If you would like to work with us, please contact our ms infinity coordinator at msinfinity@scwist.ca.
These Youth Engagement programs would not be possible without the generous support of our SCWIST members, volunteers, donors and funding agencies.
