After School Fridays OCT 3 - DEC 12 3PM - 5:15PM GRADES: K to 7 Fee: $365* (*plus GST) https://lightsuptheatre.ca/tennyson/ We offer a free after-school program that provides mentoring from high school girls to groups of students who identify as girls and non-binary with the goal of increasing confidence in math. Our program is aimed at 3rd graders, but 2nd and 4th graders can still participate. By using fun games, art, music and physical activity to teach skip counting and multiplication techniques, we bring a unique approach to learning math. We ask that you note that 3rd graders will be given priority if we receive too many registrations. Please visit our website for more information: https://www.girlstothepowerofmath.org/. GOAL: To bridge the gender gap in STEM. The program was developed from research that Loran Fellow Alexa Bailey, founder of Girls to the Power of Math, conducted with UBC professor Dr. Toni Schmader. The research showed that math confidence in BC elementary schools declines disproportionately among girls, not boys. In keeping with the current view of education, Girls to the Power of Math aims to provide the mentoring needed to maintain women's excellence in STEM fields. Statistics Canada found that "among high school graduates, women are 29.8% less likely than men to enroll in a post-secondary STEM program shortly after graduation" (Ching et al., 2021). Our hope is to encourage a love of math early in girls' lives that will continue into adulthood. Sessions run from 3:45 PM to 4:45 PM on both Mondays, starting October 6th, and Wednesdays, starting October 8th, at Kitsilano Neighbourhood House (2305 W 7th Ave). Please note that the same program will be running on both days, so please only register for one option. The information is also attached to the poster below. To register your child, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/aB6z5L8F85Uf7Qdr5 or scan the QR code below. We would greatly appreciate it as well if you could spread the word about our program to encourage more people to sign up. Please do not hesitate to contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns you may have.  Kids will dive head first into the world of design each week, exploring famous architects, sketching floor plans, and building 3D models. Creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor skills grow with every project as kids learn to see the world like real architects in the making! Each class encourages STEAM learning and creativity, turning big ideas into hands-on creations. Wednesdays after-school Dates: Sept 24 to Dec 10, 2025 (12 classes) Time: 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Price: $420 For questions, please email [email protected] or visit our website for more information.  Vancouver Speed Skating Club's season is now starting for the fall/winter skating season. All programming is based at Kitsilano Rink!
