PROGRAM THEMES
KINDERGARTEN
TINY SCIENTIST: DINOS ($175/WEEK)

Delve into the exciting world of paleontology and discover all
there is to know about the prehistoric giants that once roamed the
Earth. How were their fossils made? Why did they go extinct? Why
were even the insects of that time period so much larger than any
of their counterparts today? Join us for a week of discovery and
inquiry into the past.

TINY SCIENTIST: MAKERS ($175/WEEK)
Calling all aspiring architects, engineers, designers, and creators.
This is the camp for you! Join us for a week of challenging projects
where your imagination can take you anywhere from the deepest
ocean to the further reaches of our galaxy.

TINY SCIENTIST: MOVEMENT ($175/WEEK)
Are you curious about how all things big, small and inbetween
move? From robots to sound waves and muscles to electricty there
is movement all around us. Join us for an engaging week of
discovery in this general STEM camp.

TINY SCIENTIST: RADICAL REACTIONS ($175/WEEK)
Become a chemist for the week in our Mini Radical Reactions
camp! Join our team of Super Cool Science Geeks to learn all
about reactions and solutions. Discover how chemistry helps to
shape the world around us and is in our everyday lives!

Is a triangle really the strongest shape? How do we design a roller
coaster? Put on your iron rings and get ready to design, build, and
test your very own engineering projects!

MINI SCIENTIST: MOTION ($200/WEEK)
Fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to learn all about the
incredible world of energy, motion, and physics! This camp will
get you moving and shaking as you explore topics such as
aircrafts, volcanoes, and the forces of the universe!

MINI SCIENTIST: OCEAN EXPLORERS ($200/WEEK)
Did you know that less than 5% of the planet’s oceans have been
explored? Dive under the sea and put on your marine biologist
thinking cap as we learn all about marine life! Learn about life
under seas (both big and microscopic) and how we can protect our
oceans.

MINI SCIENTIST: THE SCIENCE OF COLOUR ($200/WEEK)
Why do we see colour? How does a prism work? How does
chemistry produce colour changes? This camp will explore the
science behind one of the world’s most exciting variables; colour!

ABOUT US
Science AL!VE is a not-for-profit organization based at Simon Fraser
University within the Faculty of Applied Sciences. We provide opportunities
for youth to explore science beyond the textbooks through hands-on,
interactive discovery, which stimulates their interest and fosters confidence.

WHAT WE DO
Part of our mandate is to reach youth throughout British Columbia. In order
to do this, we run many different programs. Our programs include:
   Aboriginal Outreach
   Haida Gwaii Partnerships
   Inter-city Initiatives
   Weekend Clubs
   After School Programs
   Workshops
   Summer Academy
   Girls Programs

During the summer, we run science summer camps at SFU's Burnaby and
Surrey campuses, as well as on Haida Gwaii and in various communities in
Northern BC. During the school year we lead on-campus and in-class
workshops, weekend clubs, after-school programs, and various community
events.

Science AL!VE strives to make science accessible to all youth regardless of
gender, culture, or level of affluence. Our outstanding staff and volunteers
are committed to sparking the enthusiasm and imaginations of their
audiences. They serve as positive role models, dispelling the stereotypes
associated with STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art &
 Mathematics).
