Students in the grade 1 & 2 class at St. David had special visitors from University of Waterloo, Engineering Science Qube Mobile Makerspace program. Students explored the physics of the sliding sport of luge while learning about gravity, friction, and materials science along the way. The university provided STEM kits at no charge and students were asked to think about designing, building, and testing safer sporting apparatus in an engaging presentation called “Newton’s Slip n’ Slide.

Teachers can find more details about the Grade 1- 12 program at ESQube Workshops.
