Introducing Science FUNdamentals:
Winnipeg Chapter

We are a branch of Science FUNdamentals at the University of Manitoba hoping to serve the Winnipeg community this coming Winter 2023! We are looking forward to providing students at UofM with meaningful volunteering opportunities to provide elementary children with engaging exposure in STEM fields. The SciFUN UManitoba team is establishing a foundation upon which to recruit volunteers and reach schools across the city.
