LIVE STEM 25-26: From Problem to Prototype
In this broadcast, students will discover what it means to be a maker and how technology supports creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. Through real-world examples and a design challenge, they will explore how digital and physical tools enable making. Students will then brainstorm and plan their own technology-driven solution to a real-world problem. This broadcast session will span a duration of 45 minutes, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience for all participants.
About LIVE STEM co-learning broadcasts:
Between September 2025 and May 2026, Let's Talk Science will be facilitating LIVE STEM broadcasts to classrooms across Canada. These co-learning broadcasts are embedded professional learning opportunities for educators to learn alongside their students. In addition to supporting reflective teacher practice, the broadcasts also provide post-learning opportunities for educators as a way to extend student learning between broadcasts. All Broadcasts are connected to the Let’s Talk Science Learning Pathways.
During the broadcasts, a Let’s Talk Science facilitator will lead students through and model for educators learning strategies and activities designed to introduce and reinforce science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts. There will be broadcasts aimed at a variety of grade levels and will be provided in English and French.
Once registered, all participants will gain access to a supporting course a week before the live broadcast. Included in the course is information on how to join the broadcasts live, a brief overview of the broadcast, a list of the materials required to participate in the activities and post-broadcast support materials. In addition, a link to watch a recording of the broadcast will be made available to watch on-demand, where participation in the live broadcast is not possible.
