About LIVE STEM co-learning broadcasts:

Let's Talk Science streams 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. Educators can complete a self-reflection in this course to earn a badge that counts towards becoming a Let's Talk Science STEM Certified Educator.

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 are broadcasts aimed at a variety of grade levels and will be provided in English and French.
