Our centre in Kelowna now offers exciting programs in STEM for elementary students!

What’s the STEM buzz all about? In today’s world, there’s a great demand for creators, innovators and thinkers who are skilled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Developing these skills at an early age can make a huge impact in a child’s life, from school to careers.

Sylvan’s innovative Robotics, Coding and Math Edge programs provide fun, hands-on learning experiences. Activities include building and programming robots with LEGO (Robotics for Kids), creating simple video games (Coding for Kids), and building on core math concepts in a fun learning environment (Math Edge).

“Our goal is to expose students to different math, technology and engineering concepts in an unconventional and fun way to inspire a life-long interest in STEM subjects,” says Catherina Butler, centre director of Kelowna Sylvan Learning. She adds, “This hands-on learning encourages collaboration, helps students build critical thinking skills, and shows how seemingly abstract concepts can be applied in real life.”
