About Us

Jit Jots is a non-profit organization founded by a group of UBC students in the faculty of science.

Our mission is to share our passion for the subject, and hope to inspire a positive learning environment for the youth in our community.

We strive to make learning fun through weekly activity sheets and online workshops where we will guide kids through exciting experiments they can do at home!
