EUReKA! Science Program 2010

Who are we? EUReKA! is a non-profit, student-run organization based out of Thompson Rivers University that strives to increase elementary student's interest in and excitement towards science and engineering and to help teachers bring science into the regular classroom. To fulfill our objectives, EUReKA! offers in-classroom workshops, summer camps, and community events that emphasize fun, challenging, hands-on, problem solving activities

The EUReKA! Science Program is broken into 3 components:

WORKSHOPS: EUReKA! will visit your classroom and conduct a 1 1/2 hour-long presentation to your class. You will be able to choose from any of our 6 new topics, which cover many areas of science such as engineering, human biology and chemistry. The workshops EUReKA! develops connect directly with designated ministry learning outcomes.
SUMMER CAMPS: If you are ages, 7-14, then you may come and join us for a week long, fun filled science camp. During a week of camp you will be able to: participate in several hands-on science activities; watch an explosion filled chemistry magic show; soak over 90 other people in a waterfight; and invite your family to join you for a celebration of the week at a BBQ on Friday . This summer EUReKA! will be offering 8 weeks of computer camp!
