School Workshops

Our Go! Science team brings hands-on, curriculum-linked science experiences directly to schools. Workshops are designed to engage students of all ages, making scientific concepts interactive, accessible, and fun. School workshops are available to educational institutions through our bookings clerk and are subject to the availability of our staff and facilities.

Workshops

  • Using robotic mice, students will learn the basics of coding. Using a combination of directional buttons as well as other commands, students will give their robots commands and attempt to help them through a 2D maze, as well as follow instructions to create a program to dance / race!

    Grades: K–2

    Length: 45 minutes

    Capacity: 30 persons

    Cost: $150

  • What is a magnet? How do balloons hold air? What makes sticky things stick? There are a lot of good questions about how the world around us works, and this workshop will try to answer the what, the why and the how of them! Students will investigate friction, magnetism, motion and structures through this hands-on workshop.

    Grades: K–3

    Length: 60 minutes

    Capacity: 50 persons

    Cost: $150

  • This workshop uses simple blocks to build robots, cars, trains, and more! Learn about how to build a circuit with our Cubelet robotic building blocks, and about how we control technology every day using simple coding techniques (basic inputs and outputs). This dynamic workshop offers students the chance to problem-solve as a team and build a series of different challenges.

    Grades: 2–5

    Length: 45 minutes

    Capacity: 40 persons

    Cost: $150

  • Who are Sir Isaac Newton and Rube Goldberg? Why are they even important? Students will work to create their own simple machines to solve a simulated real-life situation. Using a variety of materials, inquiry-based learning, and problem solving, students will create a machine that can wield the power of forces and motion!

    Grades: 4–6

    Length: 60 minutes

    Capacity: 50 persons

    Cost: $150

  • In this hands-on workshop, students will utilize problem solving skills to determine how light reflects off of mirrors. Students will also learn about the electro-magnetic spectrum and experiment with UV and fluorescence.

    Grades: 4–11

    Length: 60 minutes

    Capacity: 30 persons

    Cost: $150

  • This hair-raising workshop takes you from electrostatic charges and beyond! Students will learn the history of electricity, the difference between static and current electricity, series and parallel circuits, and more. A Van de Graaff generator will be used to explore hands-on static science.

    Grades: 6–9

    Length: 60 minutes

    Capacity: 50 persons

    Cost: $150

Stage Shows

  • Did you know that water expands when it freezes? Or that mercury is the only metal that is in liquid form at room temperature? We see solids, liquids, and gases every day, but what about the fourth state of matter: plasma? Learn some interesting facts about the states of matter with this interactive stage show.

    Ages: 4–10

    Length: 20 minutes

    Capacity: Space dependent

    Cost: $150

  • What is sustainability? How can we be climate heroes? Learn about alternative energy sources through experiments focused on creating a sustainable future! This stage show highlights the importance of climate action conversations, and how we can each do our part to help take care of our planet.

    Ages: Any

    Length: 20 minutes

    Capacity: Space dependent

    Cost: $150

  • Did you know our world is made up of chemicals? What happens when we mix them together? Learn about the study of matter and what happens to its particles when it’s involved in a chemical reaction! This stage show focuses on the discipline of chemistry and the experiments we can use to spark an interest in chemistry!

    Ages: Any

    Length: 20 minutes

    Capacity: Space dependent

    Cost: $150

  • Find out about the solids, liquids, and gases that make up our world while we look at the effects of very cold temperatures on matter in all of its state with the help of liquid nitrogen. A truly chilling demonstration!

    Ages: Any

    Length: 20 minutes

    Capacity: Space dependent

    Cost: $250

Community Events

Our Go! Science team delivers interactive, science-based activities to community events of all kinds.
