About This Activity
Join us as we explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in-person onsite at York University Keele Campus! Students will investigate different scientific properties and participate in many interactive hands-on activities. Activities are developed and delivered by undergraduate students at York University, and have been tailored to the interest of participants and specialized for the grade level of the participants. Students in grades 4 to 6 will participate in a multi-week 2-hour morning program over four weekends on Saturdays. Dates: February 7, February 14, February 28 and March 7, 2026 Time: 1:00pm-3:00pm Saturday, February 7: Robotics Revolution Doodle Bot: Students will learn about circuits and be able to draw a circuit diagram and related symbols, through the creation of assembling a dancing bug using a photovoltaic cell while discussing the importance of renewable energy, types of solar technology, electrons and electricity. Saturday, February 14: Coding for Creatives (CB 122) Makey Makey Harp & Game Controller: Students will learn about simple circuits with an overview of Kirchhoff’s circuit laws. They will use this knowledge to create a harp that plays music when connected to a computer. Also, adding in the component of AI, they will teach a computer how to listen to their harp. Also, students will create a game controller that can be used to play Scratch and any game that uses the arrow keys, space bar and the mouse. Saturday, February 28: Forensic Science SCI Blood Typing & Who is the Prime Suspect?: Students will learn about the different blood types people have, and how forensic scientists use blood type, finger print and bite-mark analysis to determine which suspects were present at a crime scene.
