In-Person Steam Learning
Face-to-face in any place
The importance of hands-on play and experimentation in education can’t be overstated, particularly when accompanied by friendly, expert educators. But those opportunities and support can be hard to find in rural, remote and Indigenous communities.
Ampere is working to overcome this obstacle, partnering with communities from the Arctic Circle to the Kawartha Lakes, and learners from British Columbia to Newfoundland, to share the power and potential of STEAM.
Classes, Camps, Activities and More
At a Makerspace:
Makerspaces are a little artist’s studio, a little tech lab, and a LOT of fun. They’re community hubs where all sorts of activities happen that are designed to bring learning to life through STEAM Creator Camps, After School Programs, Special Classes and Programs and Weekend Drop-ins.
Explore what’s happening at Ampere Makerspaces in your community:
In Your Community
Customized, co-designed, culturally-relevant STEAM Learning
Explore technology. Learn about online safety. Build digital skills for an increasingly STEAM-powered world. Ampere – working with community partners and social organizations – offers a wide variety of STEAM learning experiences that are customized and co-designed to meet learner expectations and to be culturally-relevant.
But there’s a twist – the actual learning experience isn’t the most important thing – the most important thing is our “train the trainer” approach that ensures subsequent learning and discovery can take place whether we’re there or not. We’re dedicated to supporting the development of community-based STEAM education skills, so your community can continue to build knowledge, whether we’re there or not.
