STEM Education

The C20/20 Innovation Hub scientists and trainees are available to support virtual
education sessions for students ranging from preschool to high school.

 

Our content can include experiments with household items, formal lectures and chat
sessions. “Ask a Scientist” and “Ask an Engineer” have been very popular with high
school students considering their post-secondary choices.

 

We have previously-recorded content available on our Facebook page @C2020hub.

Please feel free to contact us if you would like to explore specific content
