On-campus Labs |
|
Registration is now open for our on-campus labs program for Winter 2026. All programs are free of charge. Labs are available in February and March, 2026. Limited space will be available for labs in May 2026.
Our hands-on labs take place in the mornings on a weekly basis. Teachers have the option of adding lab and/or campus tours to create a full day field trip. Please note our booking policies:
-
Only ONE booking is permitted per high school per lab type (ex. Chemistry Lab) in the same semester
-
There is a *new* two-step process: Teachers must complete and submit a google form AND complete the calendar booking. Completing the google form only adds you to our waitlist for the type of lab you are requesting
-
Completing the calendar booking reserves your date HOWEVER we must email you to confirm your booking. We will do so within one week.
Complete the google form to request a lab and access the google calendar which manages our lab schedule. Once you've opened the calendar for the lab you wish to book you can "Jump to the next available date" to find a time slot.
Thank you for your interest in our programs and your assistance in completing this two-step booking process.
Should you have questions about the program please reach us at SciXchange@torontomu.ca |
