We are Jit Jots, a passion project founded by UBC undergraduate science students. Our organization’s goal is to spread our love for science through hosting fun and engaging in-person workshops for community centre youth programs. These workshops are designed to inspire a passion for science in youth through experiment demonstrations by our team, hands-on activities, and activity sheets.

Any Grade 9-12 student who is excited about science is encouraged to sign up for our volunteer team! Please feel free to check out our social media and website!
