Fantastic Instructors

I just want to say a big thank you to you and your instructors Justin and Vanessa. This is the best virtual camp that our children have attended so far! ... The instructors are constantly engaging the students and making sure they are understanding and following the instructions, and of course, the instructors were being extremely patient and helpful. They kept reminding the students that it’s ok to make mistakes and we may not get things perfect the first time. They are always encouraging the kids to try their best and praising them when they have good attitudes. It was a great learning experience and the kids had fun! Thank you ... Show More

Increased Confidence

I was given confidence in trying my best at everything as well as being given tips on how I can improve even more. The camp introduced us to many interesting experiments, concepts, and projects, and we learned on how it can be used in the real world.

Happy and Excited Kids

I just wanted to say thank you to the entire team. After a bad camp experience elsewhere last year, it was such a relief to pick up my child and see that he was happy and excited to go back the next day. My family really appreciate all the work you’ve done. Thank you!

Markham Science Camps

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed the Science camp. All the camp counsellors and staff are nice and patient with the campers & their families. It’s impressive to see the children learn about electricity at such a young age and applying their new knowledge in different projects during the week at summer camp.

Online Summer 2020 Programs

The program was fantastic - my son was familiar with Arduino and had been using code from a book to do projects already. However, with your program, he said he really understood how to code on his own! He enjoyed each day and already asked if there’s a next level he can sign up for! Would be fantastic if you had a continuation ... Show More

Neuroscience 2.0 Camp

This is the first time sending my child to the York U program. My child was fascinated by what he learned from the neuroscience program - being able to dissent a sheep brain and make a brain model all are excellent learning activities. My child shared that there were many hands on activities which he really appreciated (he attended other university held children summer programs which were very much lecture style). I really appreciated all the efforts put into giving the children a very positive learning experience. The end of program showcase presentation also gave the kids excellent opportunity to practice public speaking - my child did not volunteer to do so this time but he said when he returned in two weeks he would definitely do so. This told me how inspired and empowered he got from the environment and opportunities. Many thanks! Keep up the great work! ... Show More

Discussion with Friends

It was an amazing journey and I loved every minute of it. It didnt even feel like a classroom, more like a friendly discussion with my friends. I learned so much and Im never gonna forget this.

Research Course Student Review

I had a great experience at [Science Engagement Programs]. The course was very interesting and I not only go tot learn the material, but had the chance to have hands-on experience. This course was a lot more than I was expecting. The instructor was very helpful and interesting and did a great job of teaching the course in a way in which we could learn easily. Many of the questions I came here with have been answered ... Show More

Research Course Student Review

Through the research course that I took at [Science Engagement], I learned a great deal. It provided me with the opportunities to learn more complicated and challenging concepts that I desire and it was really nice meeting and working with like-minded peers. It also gave me more insight into what it would be like to student science in university, and has helped me with making decisions concerning my future. ... Show More

Will Definitely Come Back!

Thanks you so much. This program was really fun and I will definitely come back ;)
The camp instructors where very engaging and made the game just that much more fun. They listen to everything I had to say and gave me feedback based on what I was doing. I would rate them 11/10.

Thanks, so much

Connecting with Mentors

This is my first time doing this camp and I really enjoyed it! The camp counsellors were VERY nice and friendly! They made this camp a lot of fun and enjoyable! It was also really nice to meet a University student, Marishia, who has similar career path ideas as me and answered my questions about it as well. Thank you for an awesome week!

OUR KIDS review of York University; Science Engagement

our take

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.
