Tips for Booking a Relay Workshop
Tip 1: Know your Goals
Are you looking for hands-on experiments and student led learning?
We’ve got you! All our workshops involve hands-on experiments and demonstrations. Students work together in groups to complete different activities using a variety of equipment and technology.
Are you trying to meet a specific curriculum unit?
If so, do you want us to come before it starts or as a great end to your unit? Either way, we’re happy to have our professional facilitators be the visiting specialist in your classroom.
We can help meet your curriculum needs. Our workshops are tailored to fit your grade, region, and students. All our workshops are tailored to the education curriculum set by different regions in Canada. If you’re looking to cover specific units or links, let us know and we can help you choose which workshop would be best.
Are you interested in a specific topic?

Tip 2: Decide what form of delivery works best for you
Virtual
In-Depth and Easy. 75 minutes of interactive, engaging learning for students where they will be able to take part in live demonstrations online with one of our professional facilitators.
In Person
We come to you! Our most popular choice. We join your students in your classroom for a half day of learning.
Do you want a full day experience?
Our Renewable Energy Design Challenges offer a workshop in the morning followed by an afternoon of designing and building renewable energy models (solar cars and wind turbines!). More info on our design challenges here
Live in a more remote or rural location?
Virtual is great, but a combo option is available! Our virtual workshops are available anywhere with an internet connection, so we also offer mailing design challenge materials ahead of time to remote locations for the Design Challenges only, and then lead the learning together online. Shipping costs are additional.
