Digital Youth in-school field trip

Can’t make it to SAIT? The Digital Youth team can come to you! The Digital Youth team will be able to deliver one 90 – 120 minutes Art of the Possible session of your choosing. We offer Cybersecurity, 3D modeling & Printing, Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality, and Digital Intelligence & Digital Citizenship.

Requirements for an in-school field trip:

• Each student will be required to have access to a computer/laptop to participate in the workshop.
• Teachers are encouraged to utilize space with access to a projector, so students are able to follow the workshop while working on their individual devices.
