Through Tech-Up, Science World delivers province-wide programs for students and teachers that include coding, computational thinking and digital skills.
With an emphasis on "coding to learn", our Tech-Up facilitators provide students with the skills they need for STEM courses in higher education and equip teachers to meaningfully incorporate coding and digital learning outcomes aligned with the provincial curriculum into their own classrooms.
Amazon Future Engineer is Amazon Canada’s comprehensive childhood-to-career program that increases access to computer science education for children and young adults from underserved and underrepresented communities.
