About the Curriculum

The program curriculum is designed to be interactive, inclusive and caters to various learning styles. The program will allow participants to explore STEAM concepts first-hand and develop an understanding of the interconnected nature of STEAM. The participants will use the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to create innovative solutions to everyday problems while developing effective communication skills and directly applying their learning.

The one-week camp will introduce the participants to sustainability and EDP. The lessons will touch upon earth science and climate change. Participants will have many opportunities to apply EDP to solve real-world issues. The program will also have a focus on Indigenous ways of knowing, and will dispel stereotypes related to STEAM, by highlighting that Indigenous peoples have been using engineering since time immemorial.
