All it takes is a teacher sponsor like you to encourage your students to participate and fuel their excitement for scientific discovery. 

The ExploraVision STEM Competition is FREE to enter! Great prizes for students, teachers and schools! Check out our teacher resources.  Read more about the past ExploraVision scientific innovations.

PEO Activity - Engiteer's

The Oakville Chapter is launching a new design activity series called Engiteer's! These events will be open to students in Grade 6 - 12 and will run during weekday evenings. Each event will operate independently, allowing students to come when they are available.
Our first event is going to be on November 27, 2014 from 6-8 pm. Students are invited to come and build a chair out of cardboard, and see if it can support the whole team! Refreshments will be provided, and prizes awarded to the top chairs! 

Please note that this is a student only event. Parents are welcome to drop students off and then explore the nearby area during the event.
