Elementary Workshops

Skills Ontario has brought back the immensely popular Elementary Workshops this year in a virtual format! The elementary workshops are all about building, designing, creating, and fixing. Follow along in class, at home, or anywhere as industry experts lead you through a 30 to 45-minute workshop to teach you all about a skilled trade or technology. The elementary workshops run in conjunction with the Virtual Skills Ontario Competition and are best suited for students in grades 7 and 8, but all are welcome. Some workshops may require pre-event preparation or materials so please ensure you are checking the website for more details closer to the event day.
