Calling all Grade 4 and 5 (yes, split 3/4 or 5/6 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 12, 2026. Registration will open on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8 at 8:00AM, and your registration is only confirmed once you have chosen an available group of activities, completed your registration details, and "checked out" your cart. Please note that this is a FREE event to attend, however bussing and regular student snacks/lunch are the responsibility of individual schools. Registration has been streamlined and you will choose an "Activity Group" which contain a pre-selected group of 4 different activity sessions, not individual session choices, as in years past.  We will offer a waitlist for a short period in case we are able to add sessions, or a registered group is unable to attend. *Please note that we have adjusted times over the years in consideration of busses being able to return to schools in time for dismissal.  If you are unable to stay for all 4 sessions, please do not register, as our session hosts plan and prepare for 4 groups of students each. Buses arrive in parking lot H (using Innovation Drive entrance) (9:30-9:45am) Participants escorted to Session 1 by volunteers (9:45-10:00am) Session 1 (10:00-10:45) Break and transition (10:45-10:55) Session 2 (10:55-11:40) LUNCH (11:40-12:00) *rooms will be available for inclement weather backup Session 3 (12:00-12:45) Break and transition (12:45-12:55) Session 4 (12:55-1:40) Students return to buses in parking lot H (using Innovation Drive entrance) (1:40-1:50)
