We Do Workshops! Workshops related to the use of these kits can be arranged. The workshop is 1.5 hours long and can be held after school. We would prefer a minimum of 8 teachers with a maximum of 30. Workshops are free as are the resources. If you would like to attend a workshop and there isn’t one being held in your school division please contact us at education@saskmining.ca to see if there will be one held nearby. |
