All Hands on Deck: TECH Talks Session 3
Our workshop instructors transform the hockey rink into a showroom of the discoveries and creations from each workshop. Take a look around the rink and you’ll see a mini doctor’s office set up for biozone, a ring for our robots, tables of laptops showing off the video games and programs, microscopes to examine the organisms in our water, chemistry experiments bubbling over, and 3D animations projected on the glass.
Workshop Discoveries and TECH Talks
To see the transformation from their first day of workshop when they are staring at the instructor wide eyed with curiosity and confusion, to the TECH talks when they have become experts in their workshop, is magical.
