Institutions across Canada are welcoming youth to their campuses for special programs and camps this summer. Several universities gave youth hands-on opportunities to expand their scientific knowledge: Laurentian University hosted the Shad Canada program, where Grade 10 to 11 students learned about STEAM and entrepreneurship; at the University of Lethbridge, high school students had the opportunity to work in the university’s lab facilities; and at the University of Manitoba, a summer camp offered Grade 6 to 12 students the opportunity to engage with biomedical sciences. Confederation College and Sault College both hosted Skills Ontario’s Trades and Tech Summer Camp, where Grade 7 to 9 students learned about the skilled trades. The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology hosted a camp for Grade 8 to 11 students from the Montana First Nation that introduces them to the campus and programs.
