EIR Program

The Engineer-in-Residence (EIR) Program is an engineering outreach initiative that aims to get youth interested in science, technology, engineering, and math.

These first snowy days of the season already have us thinking about summer fun!! Love this idea to get outside and have fun learning!

Let’s go fly a kite with Engineer Leah!

Big thanks to all the #engineering employers whosE engineers are sharing their stories! https://t.co/TPBNNSkNlB

[EIR Program @EIRProgram]

Love seeing these first visits!! https://t.co/bu0sbAKTks

[EIR Program @EIRProgram]

Love seeing EIRs in action! 🙌 https://t.co/vfub4G3mPt

Shouting out one of our EIR's, Leah, for this...Breaking the mould: my journey as a woman in engineering https://t.co/AVczLFNA7a

[Ms. Jarbeau @BrainyBunch2s]

A huge thank you to Michael, @ygkcommuter, for his final visit! Our class had a blast with the "Maze Runner" design challenge. Students designed and programmed Dash robots to navigate custom mazes with starts, finishes, tricky turns, and obstacles. 🦾✨ @EIRProgram

[Andrea Donato @AndreaDonato123]

Finishing off CEW with Mr.Trevor our @engoftom resident! Today we learned about different forms of energy and explored various materials to see if they act as conductor or insulators with simple circuits. @StElizabethOCSB #ocsbbecommunity

@Gr2_3FRIENDS @ygkcommuter So cool! 💥

[Ms. Jarbeau @BrainyBunch2s]

🚗💥 From designing and building crash barriers to testing force on impact, our students engineered their way into this challenge. Michael's ingenuity even led him to create a contraption to measure crash forces in real-time! Thank you again, Michael @ygkcommuter! @EIRProgram

It’s a work in progress but my grade 7 students are designing a future city with climate change considerations, and creating their structures on TinkerCAD to print them in 3D! @TCDSB @TCDSB_Peterson @21C_TCDSB @engoftom

[EIR Program @EIRProgram]

EIRs in action 🤩. Thanks for sharing @AndreaDonato123

We're looking for volunteers for the 2024/25 program year.

[Andrea Donato @AndreaDonato123]

Another great lesson with Trevor our @engoftom engineer! Today we learned how the fulcrum changes the effort needed to lift a load! @StElizabethOCSB

[Ms. Jarbeau @BrainyBunch2s]

Thanks to Michael, @ygkcommuter, we tackled our latest STEM adventure - the Oil Spill Engineering Challenge! We explored the complexity of cleaning up disasters and the role of engineering in protecting our planet. We brainstormed solutions and made a splash! 💧🛢 @EIRProgram

Creating fun marble runs with Engineer Leah @StGemmaOCSB @EIRProgram @OttCatholicSB #ocsb

[Ms. Jarbeau @BrainyBunch2s]

Thanks to Michael @ygkcommuter, we tackled our design challenge: crafting the tallest earthquake-proof structure! Armed with marshmallows, spaghetti, & tape, our budding engineers got creative. With the help of a shaker table & ruler, we put our designs to the test. @EIRProgram

[MississippiBlue @MissisdippiB]

THANK YOU Chris (Engineer in Residence)for your excellent presentation. We’re excited to build our environmentally friendly cities that are impacted by climate change. ⁦⁦@engoftom⁩ ⁦@EIRProgram⁩ ⁦@CMartyrsHCDSB⁩ ⁦@giftedgroups528⁩ ⁦⁦@hcdsbsteam⁩

So many talented engineers putting their launchers to the test at @StGregoryOCSB. Thank you to Mr. Ball from @EIRProgram and the Ts for such a great experience. No pics of launchers in action, too busy having fun judging. 👷🏾‍♀️👷‍♂️ #ocsbScience
