We welcome your interest in programs for your class! We offer various programs that we have tailored to Ontario curriculums. All programs are FREE! Due to COVID and UW policy, all programs are delivered virtually. For elementary level students, our programs usually consist of a focused presentation on the topic of your choice, a virtual activity such as a craft, game, or a fact-packed bingo.
