Summer Camps
Joining us for summer camps in our Lab of Discovery is perfect for youth who are seeking more experience and knowledge in the challenging field of STEM. During each week they will build all new projects including electronics, programming, 3D design, robotics, CAD systems and a whole lot more.
SPACE Camp
Join our Space Program. The most exciting day for anyone who wants to travel into space is the day they are selected to join the space program. This camp is perfect for youth who are seeking more experience and knowledge with the space program.
Volunteer
Some of those who volunteer with us are interested in building professional skills, others are looking to stay active after they retire, while others want to engage more with their community. With volunteers willing to take the time to shape the minds of tomorrow we can make a better world today.
Today’s students demand rich and immersive learning experiences that parallel their fast paced digital lives. Youth need a variety of opportunities to begin building STEM skills that match their potential and improve their awareness through building projects. With each program, students use the science testing process and the engineering design process to solve problems.
The future Canadian economy will rely on essential skills in STEM to grow and innovate. Digital literacy and computer science will be the driving factors that shape our next generation of future leaders and innovators. Other essential skills like critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration and entrepreneurship will also be foundational for all youth.
