Our programs provoke critical thinking / engage students in dialogue / forge participants not just observers. They are designed to enhance the Ontario Curriculum and introduce career paths that may have been overlooked.
Overview
The museum offers a range of inspiring programming at EMM in St. Thomas, at our 'Sub' station HMCS Ojibwa, a Cold War Oberon Class submarine in Port Burwell, or a combination of the two locations. This past year at EMM we created a program for visiting American students which highlights the similarities and differences between the military culture in our two countries; it was very well received.
Of course having a real submarine allows us to put the sub in SUBject - almost any subject and our Port Burwell site has plenty of space for your bus. On board the submarine, physics, chemistry, mechanics, psychology, sociology etc. etc come to life; as one student put it- 'now I get it' . It is surprising how much easier it is to understand physics when it is everywhere you look.
