Coding Workshops

Through Tech-Up, The Exploration Place and Science World deliver province-wide programs for students and teachers that include coding, computational thinking, and digital skills.

Our reservable free in-person and online programs are designed by education specialists and reflect British Columbia’s transformed curriculum. Each program provides content enrichment for a “Big Idea” and opportunities to exercise and extend students’ core competencies.

These programs are part of Tech-Up, Science World’s initiative to enhance existing programs to include coding and computational thinking.
