Announcing Two Student Contests for EIR - Win a $50 Future Shop gift card!

The EIR program is currently running two contests, one for student artwork and one for student testimonials regarding their experiences with the EIR program. The contributions will help us show our funders the effects the EIR program can have on students. It will also allow the students to be a part of our new website.

The prizes for both contests is publication on our website for the winning 5 pieces, as well as entry for those 5 individuals into a draw for one of two $50 gift cards to Future Shop.

Happy National Volunteer Week!

In 80 classrooms across Ontario, in museums, and at the University of Windsor, our volunteers are sharing their love of STEM subjects with students of all ages and backgrounds.

An Amazing Turnout!

Over 250 children (and a number of keen adults!) crowded around our EIRs at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa on Saturday. Some tried their hand at flying around the Toronto harbour, while others tested their structural building capacities against a mighty earthquake generator.

Fun Day for All at THEMUSEUM in Kitchener

Over 60 children participated in two fantastic activities led by EIRs Saturday November 26th at THEMUSEUM in Kitchener. John Wynen demonstrated the principles of creating electrical currents using magnets.
