UBCO STEM ENGAGEMENT DAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2024

Calling all Grade 3 and 4 (yes, split 2/3 or 4/5 are welcome, based on teacher discretion) teachers of SD22, SD23, and Private/Independent Schools in the Okanagan Region!

We are looking forward to hosting our annual UBCO STEM Engagement Day on November 13, 2024 with a choice of 4 different sessions running from 10:00am-2:00pm.  Last year our registration filled in under 10 minutes, so we suggest looking through your options early and being prepared on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17 at 8:00AM as the registration system only counts you in once registered completely!

It is a great plan to set up your account early, and then go in and only have to add your session choices on day of opening! Click here for tips on registration!

REGISTRATION OPENS OCTOBER 17, 2024 at 8:00AM – 

Updated: 8:27am – REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY FULL.  If you would like to be added to the waitlist, email us at wwest.ok@ubc.ca with WAITLIST in the subject line.

We will offer a waitlist for a short period following programming being filled, should we be able to add sessions, or a registered group is unable to attend.

Please note that this is a FREE event to attend, however bussing and regular student snacks/lunch are the responsibility of individual schools.

If you are unable to attend or register for the UBCO STEM Engagement Day but would like to stay in touch regarding future events, please email us at wwest.ok@ubc.ca with the request to be added to our contact list, for future UBCO STEM events.

We appreciate your interest, and look forward to connecting in the future!
