Who are you as an organization?
At Super Scientist we believe that STEM education is the foundation for future leaders, developing a passion for innovation and the life skills to realise their potential. Each week at camp there are themed days for Physics, Chemistry, Life Science, Biology and Emerging Sciences. Super Fun Fridays are the finish to your week; we are planning some great fun problem-solving treats, but they are TOP SECRET!! Each day you will rotate through the areas of the campus. You will visit the Science rooms twice for experiments, rotate into our Robotics room, meet our Engineering Challenge in the gym and then visit the Research Corner. Weave into that your lunch break and outdoor games, and we are going to be a busy bunch!
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"Super Scientist staff are STEM professionals/students and have a life-long enthusiasm for STEM in all its forms. Each has experience teaching, volunteering, mentoring, and supporting youth in our community.
Our unique perspective on the real-world implications and interactions of the science we teach helps us foster a super fun, super curious, enthusiastic safe learning environment for our students. All questions are answered, and curiosity is welcomed. Students will learn to seek (and identify) truth, qualify information sources, build tenacity and persistence, embrace complex problem solving, gain confidence in their abilities and validate their opinions."
Who are your staff and counsellors?
"Our staff and counsellors are all enthusiastic promotors of early childhood learning for STEM subjects. Our policy is ratio of 1:6 for Grade 1-3, 1:10 for Grade 4-8. We are an avid equal opportunity employer. All our staff require diversity, equality and Super Scientist Method Training to ensure a safe, welcoming and curious learning environment.
We have a diverse group of tutors from various science and engineering backgrounds. Senior Camp counsellors are required to have leadership and child management experience, Camp Counsellors are junior but have demonstrated leadership capabilities within our previous camps and courses. All our team require demonstrated experience and interest in STEM."

Louise McPherson, Founder
B.Eng, MBA, MIEE
For the last 13 years our Team have been delivering large scale engineering challenges to schools in TDSB, HDSB, PDSB, engaging elementary students in the Critical Design Process from early childhood. Research has shown that by age 13, 40 % of students have lost interest in Science and Technology and by age 15, 70% of girls have opted out. The reason is believed to be the subjects are “too difficult”.
Our objective is to ensure Every Child in Every School receives a high level of engagement with hands on science and technology at early elementary age. Through this exposure we hope to increase confidence, encourage and demonstrate to students that these subjects are for everyone. The life skills learned breaking down complex problems, analyzing data, seeking solutions & testing not to mention material selection, project planning & delivery remain with us forever and never diminish in importance.
Employers recognize the most important skills for employees of the future to be critical thinking, problem solving and adaptability. As parents of future leaders we all want to equip our students with the capabilities they need to be happy and successful.
Super Scientist have already worked with over 10000 students and it grows every year.
Whether a class, camp your family best we are ready to welcome your child and open their eyes to the fun, engaging and exciting world that is STEM whilst allowing them to practice their most important life-skills.
Our team consists of Engineers, Scientists and Technologists, teachers and curriculum experts. If you would like to get involved with Super Scientist drop us an email at [email protected] and we thank you for your ongoing support.
