Virtual School Programs

Bring the Science Centre to your classroom!

Our Virtual School Programs connect your students with a Science Educator for live experiments, demonstrations and real-time interactions. Full of curriculum-connected science fun, these programs take learning to a whole new level!

  • Overview: Students at home or school can join a captivating 30, 45 or 60-minute program led by a Science Educator who will engage your classroom in an exciting science learning experience
  • Cost: $100-250 per group, per program. Please note that we can only accept credit card or P-card payments at this time and cannot accept cheques for virtual school programs. 
  • Privacy and technology: Our Science Educators make use of microphones, webcams and screen sharing using Zoom. If needed, you may select an alternative video-conferencing platform (i.e., a program preferred by your school). Please review our program details and technology requirements for more information.
