Science Engagement Programs offers innovative and engaging programs designed to inspire youth to discover exciting topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Out of the Faculty of Science at York University, our programs use a discovery and inquiry-based learning approach that is focused on ‘learning by doing’.
School-year programs include online STEM Workshops and STEM Clubs.
Summer programs include online STEM Camps, in-person STEM Camps for elementary students, and in-person lab programs for high school students.
We are so excited to announce that we will be offering both ONLINE and IN-PERSON programs during this upcoming Summer 2022 season!

Science Engagement sessions engage with the outcomes of the provincial curriculum, extending them in a range of meaningful ways, through hands-on, cooperative learning. Students also work within a professional setting, and learn from student leaders that themselves are working in those fields throughout the year. The facilities, as you’d expect, are exceptional—a majority of the sessions take place within Faculty of Science at the Keele Campus of York University—as is the organization of the programs and sessions.
