Creating good questions and coming up with
thoughtful, rich and compelling answers.

7. Who is the Inquiry Hub for?
Passionate Students who:
 Want to apply learning in a practical way
 Are interested in learning with technology
 Want to go beyond structured classes
 Already have a passion or are seeking
something to study in-depth
 Desire to work on projects that make a
difference
 Independent and self-motivated

8. The vision for Math/Science education
at iHub
• Science
• Technology
• Engineering
• Art
• Mathematics
• Design Thinking
Mr. Sarte

9. What will it look like?
• Math/Science “content” will be online and
students can “consume” information at their
planned pace
• Quizzes and tests to accompany online
components
• Students analyse, evaluate, and transform
their understanding through inquiry projects
(their own or guided)

10. Example: Science 9
• Students will learn about
– static and current electricity
– charge, current, resistance, voltage, energy and
power
– connecting series and parallel circuits
– remote-sensing technologies such as those used
in space exploration

11. Microcontrollers and robotics
• Arduino compatible
boards – circuits and
coding
• Robotics – coding
(Sparki, pi-bot, BOE bot,
etc.)
• Robotics – design your
own (student inquiry)
• VEX robotics (if funded)

12. Humanities, and Integrated Learning
(Across grades and subjects)
• Example: iHUB Reads fishbowl discussions
Mr. Soiseth

13. • Use of extensive online learning resources
A typical day at iHub includes:
Hannah & Julian

14. Learning online
Online courses
- Setting goals
- Self motivation
- Independent
- Consistent
progress
- Conferencing
with teachers
Hannah

15. ‘Required’ Courses
Foundations of Inquiry
Applications of Digital Literacy
- Building the skills to be successful
(Not just expecting students to have them)

16. Graduation Courses
All the necessary courses for
students to graduate with a BC
Dogwood (High School Diploma)
Including IDS courses
(Independent Directed Studies)

17. Technology – Bring Your Own Laptops
