School Workshop Package 2023

Workshop Options

Virtual Ventures Workshops are now running in-person for January to June 2023!

Workshops can be booked Monday-Friday between 9:00am-4:00pm (contact us for after school program availability).

Workshops Overview

Workshops are hands-on, fun, interactive, and have been designed in consideration with the Ontario curriculum.

We have suggested grade levels and subjects applicable for each workshop, however, please feel free to email us to discuss if a different workshop may be suitable for your class. Many teachers use our workshops as a review of a topic, to supplement current class work, or as a cost-effective alternative to a field trip (with much less paperwork!).

Workshop Details

Each Virtual Ventures workshop is between 1.5-3 hours in length (specified in package), led by two university instructors and intended for 20-30 students.

Materials

We supply all materials needed for both the material based workshops and the technology workshops. For our computer-based lessons if your school has access to this equipment, then you are all set! If your school does not, it can be rented through Virtual Ventures. All supplies necessary for the workshop will be brought to your classroom by Virtual Ventures.

Cost

Although most of our workshops are offered at no-cost, there are a few that require some additional materials for a low cost*. Bursaries are available for qualifying schools, please contact us (see below) for more information on our free workshops.

*Please view our workshop package for the list of workshops and costs.
