Clubs
STEM LEGO® Club
Worlds UNBound is excited to launch the STEM Lego Club. The goal of this STEM Lego Club will be to engage children in basic engineering challenges and teach engineering concepts. Children are natural engineers; they are constantly asking questions and imagining new ideas. Lego is an ideal method for honing these natural skills while promoting critical thinking, reasoning, problem solving and innovation skills. Additionally, Lego is perfect for such a Club because they are familiar, translatable and affordable. Examples of planned Lego challenges include construction of: bridges, towers, simple machines, mazes, playgrounds, boats, pyramids and rescue vehicles.
Codemakers Girls Club
Worlds UNBound's Codemakers Girls Club promotes activities designed to dismantle stereotypes around the STEM fields and create a fun and inviting atmosphere for girls to learn about science and engineering! Our hope is to inspire girls to pursue science and engineering through High School and into their post-secondary education.

Open for girls in grades 3-8, the 2019/2020 session of Girls Clubs will focus on developing digital skills, to move young females away from being passive consumers of technology to active producers of technology. We are promoting quality screen time and helping parents to identify opportunities for their kids to engage in technology in productive, confidence building ways.
We will once again be partnering with schools across the capital region to deliver interactive and engaging activities which promote interest in science and engineering while developing essential skills such as leadership, critical thinking and problem solving. These activities are facilitated by science and engineering students from the University of New Brunswick, all of which are focused on showing girls that they are extremely relateable and are strong role models for young girls.
The 2019/2020 sessions of Codemakers Girls Club will be FREE for all participants!
