EA Vancouver and the Vancouver Canucks Partner to Inspire Local Students at the Future of STEAM Day: Vancouver

VANCOUVER, Dec. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - On Thursday, December 13, EA Vancouver and the Vancouver Canucks will team up to host Future of STEAM Day: Vancouver to celebrate students from Moscrop Secondary School who recently completed two unique digital STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) education initiatives - EA Play to Learn and The NHL, NHLPA and Vancouver Canuck's Future Goals-Hockey Scholar program. This event will bring together BC Minister of Education Hon. Rob Fleming, leaders from EA Vancouver and the Canucks, and will feature a special guest appearance from former National Hockey League All-Star and Member of the Canucks "Ring of Honor" Kirk McLean.

EA Play to Learn teaches key STEAM applications and critical thinking skills. The interactive lessons highlight the career possibilities that a STEAM education could unlock.

Future Goals-Hockey Scholar is an online learning course that brings science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to life through the exciting, fast-paced game of hockey.

Both programs are run in partnership with education technology provider EVERFI and are available to schools and districts across North America at no cost to schools.
