Science programs
Are you a UBC undergraduate or graduate student with a background in science? Are you interested in bringing science to life for students at a Vancouver elementary or secondary school?
If so, the Trek Program in collaboration with the UBC Let’s Talk Science Partnership Program has two different opportunities for you to consider:
- Scientific Methods and Research Training (SMaRT)
This program involves engaging students in grades 5 to 7 in hands-on science activities, giving them a better understanding of the goals and methods of scientific research.

- Science Mentorship Program
UBC graduate and undergraduate science students provide support and guidance to high school students as they develop a science fair project. UBC students also help the secondary school staff implement the school science fair.
