Frequently Asked Questions

Yes you can bring your children and a partner in for free but the activities are created with teachers in mind.

Please register if you know you will attend. Registered teachers will get priority access into the museum. Drop-ins will be accomodated as space permits, arrive after noon if you have not registered. If you register and can no longer attend, please cancel your registration so we can pass it to another person.


Are there other workshop options on UBC Campus?

Yes! Make a full day at UBC by exploring other options:

  • UBC Physics and Astronomy Teacher Workshop (RSVP required). This workshop covers introducing circuits to students by playing and making. This workshop will cover topics of circuits, voltage, current, and resistance that are part of the BC Grade 9 Science Curriculum, but all teachers who are interested in learning basic electronics are welcome, as some activities would be of interest and appropriate for Grade 4-7 students.
