STEAM Buddies for Teens
What is STEAM Buddies?
STEAM Buddies is a program that pairs teens aged 13-18 with kids in grades 2 to 4 for fun and informal STEAM learning. We are looking for role models to demonstrate their love of learning and experimentation while helping their little buddies develop curiosity, creativity, and a desire to explore.
Be a big buddy and earn community service hours! Buddies will help kids experiment with a different aspect of STEAM each week using LEGO, Osmos, Spheros, and more.
A teen training session will be held on the first date.
Due to high demand, STEAM Buddies is limited to Vancouver residents only.
