About youth programs
Our mission is to inspire youth to unlock the future of innovation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Hands-on activities and immersive learning in engineering, robotics, coding, gaming, and more, provide youth with the building blocks needed for a future in STEM!
- Programs engage participants with their peers and connect youth with similar interests
- Women mentors inspire the next generation of STEM professionals in our "All girls" programs
- Participants use STEM-based technology and equipment to develop skills relevant to today's globally connected world
- Programs engage youth in STEM concepts connected to undergraduate curriculums, including engineering design, scientific inquiry, and coding fundamentals
- Ontario Tech undergraduate STEM students and mentors provide leadership to further professional and personal development
