"These experiences help students develop their problem-solving and teamwork skills as well as providing insight into the STEM disciplines."

Participating students will attend mini non-credit courses facilitated by university professors in topics such as:

  • Robotics;
  • Construction engineering;
  • 3D design;
  • Cosmetic chemistry;
  • Renewable energy;
  • Veterinary science;
  • Biochemistry;
  • Forensics; and
  • PSAT and SAT prep.

Students will also have the opportunity to go on field trips, designed to boost confidence and offer networking opportunities, to places like Disaster City, Adamson Lagoon and Grand Station.
