• GRADES 1-9

It’s the science centre on a field trip, straight into the classroom! Includes all the bells and whistles from a magic science trunk of gadgets, gizmos and beakers. This is a unique educational experience that closely mirrors what is offered at the science centre.

• $550/class (up to 30 students)
• GRADES 4-6

Got what it takes to predict the weather? In this program, Spark educators will turn classrooms into meteorological stations! Students will create weather forecasts, explore climate phenomena and learn what they can do to help Earth thrive – all with direct ties to Alberta curriculum.

This program is generously supported by the Canadian Association of Science Centre's GenAction Program.

• $750/class (up to 30 students)
• GRADES 5-8

This week-long in-school program introduces students to the inspiring world of coding and robotics (with no coding experience required)! In a series of workshops, students will learn about the connections between hardware and software, foundational concepts of coding languages, coding literacy and debugging. Flint, Spark’s resident robot dog, will attend the residency kick-off day as a point of inspiration for students, and will also participate in the wrap-up day as the co-emcee to celebrate the students’ work.

This program travels within a 50-kilometre radius of the science centre, and includes 18 hours of instruction spread over five days, flexible with class schedules.

• $19 per student
• GRADES 5-12

Time to immerse students in some seriously super science! This program challenges students to build an entire science exhibit with the help of Spark Science Guides and local professionals. Students in grades 5-12 will dive deep into the design-thinking process as they explore science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (otherwise known as STEAM).
