What is DSBN Try A Trade?

Try a Trade is an opportunity for grade 7 and 8 students to explore careers in the skilled trades with a fun activity you can do at home. 

Pick 1 of 5 different trades and we will send you a kit with most of the material and tools needed to complete activities related to the trade of choice. Four of the kits are designed for everyone. The Information Technology kit is meant for those that want a real challenge. You can do the activities at home, at your own pace. When you are finished you can send in a picture of your work for a chance to win a prize.
