What is a CES Workshop?

A Creative Encounters workshop is a 1 or 1.5 hour presentation delivered by two University of Guelph undergraduate students to an elementary school classes (of an average class size of 25 students) geared towards students in kindergarten to Grade 8. Each workshop is tailored to the appropriate grade level of the class and includes a hands-on activity that each student participates in. The workshop topics have been chosen on the basis of creating a diverse selection of Science and Engineering topics that complement the elementary school curriculum.

Creative Encounters is excited to offer EIGHT different workshop topics in 2010.

Workshops are designed and taught by Creative Encounters staff members who are dynamic undergraduate students studying science or engineering at the University of Guelph. There is one female and one male staff member leading each workshop in order to promote gender equity, and to provide positive role models for future scientists of both genders. The instructors strive to create fun and energetic presentations with hands-on elements, thus providing the students with a positive image of science, engineering and technology.

When do Workshops Run?

Creative Encounters books workshops from May 12th until June 18th (excluding the week of June 7-10). We are able to deliver 3 workshops simultaneously, at up to 4 different time slots, for a total of 12 (maximum) workshops in one day.
