Discover the fascinating world of robotics and code with Nanaimo Science as we learn the logic that makes modern machines tick! Through hands-on challenges, you will master sequences, loops, and conditionals, the building blocks of programming. Using intuitive drag and drop coding platforms and real robots, you will directly see how your code brings a robot to life. Get ready to think like an engineer and code your own creations!

Love is in the air, and we’re celebrating with a day full of friendship, fun, and heart-filled activities! Students will enjoy Valentine-themed crafts, kindness games, stories of love and caring, and a mini “Kindness Party” to celebrate friendship and fun in our OSC community.

Join Nanaimo Science for a day where imagination meets engineering. We start with Strawbees, the flexible building tool that lets you construct amazing structures through fun challenges and creative exploration. Next, we will dive into the world of programming, mastering drag and drop code with Microbits through a series of engaging tutorials and games. Finally, we fuse these skills together! Learn how to use servos to connect your code to your physical creation, transforming simple Strawbees builds into incredible, reacting robotic inventions.

Join us for a joyful day of spring-themed adventures as we celebrate the season of sunshine and growth! Learners will enjoy creative crafts, exploring the outdoors with a nature walk or scavenger hunt, and get moving with playful games and group challenges. It’s the perfect way to soak up the fresh air, stay active, and welcome spring with friends and fun.

Step outside with Nanaimo Science and explore the environment using the power of technology. We will use tools like anemometers to make scientific observations and collect real data about the weather. This engaging day includes a critical look at human impacts on the environment, where we will run our own hands-on oil spill intervention experiment. Plus, sharpen your identification skills using INaturalist on a guided nature walk where you will create your very own personalized nature guide.

Nanaimo Science invites you to a dynamic day designed to hone your skills as a master engineer. You will face a gauntlet of imaginative challenges where creativity is your greatest asset. Build a boat that can float even the heaviest weight, construct towers engineered to withstand earthquakes, design amazing flying machines that can soar to the ceiling, and test different styles of paper airplanes to determine which can fly the best. There is no single answer here; only endless opportunities for you to design, test, and innovate.

Let’s celebrate the beauty of spring with a day of discovery, creativity, and play! Students will dive into garden-inspired crafts, explore signs of spring through nature-based games and challenges, and enjoy active time outdoors with relay races, chalk art, or a spring-themed scavenger hunt. With a mix of hands-on learning and active movement, it’s the perfect way to soak up the season and let imaginations bloom.
