Geering Up reaches thousands of youth in
the spring through in-class workshops. This
year, we offered three unique workshops for
schools to choose from: The Wonderful World
of Water, Sounds enLightening, and Ohm
My Gauss: Electricity and Circuits. We also
offered two high school workshops: Dynamics
& Design and Microelectronics.
Geering Up also continued to offer workshops
in French, delivered by our bilingual French
instructors. Our workshops were delivered
in Vancouver, Kelowna, Prince George, Hope,
and Penticton in schools, community centers
and at BC Children’s Hospital.
