For 9 weeks, parent and TLA teacher, Sarah Stolz, will facilitate 9 different pre-recorded engineering workshops created by McMaster University’s Venture Academy. Each week is aimed at a different age group, however, if you would like to sign up multiple kids of different age groups in your family to work together, you are welcome to do so. The activities will be aimed at the grade level listed but any age is welcome to check it out. Read more details about each topic by clicking on the links below.
