Engineering Academy (Gr 7-8)

Create a memorable summer experience at our Carleton University-based STEM Academy. Youth explore hands-on projects and learn from passionate Carleton University STEM student instructors. Our curriculum is brand new each summer to ensure a relevant and engaging educational journey for every participant. 

Academy programs are offered in 1 week sessions, running from 9:15am to 3:15pm. We have a lunch break and an outdoor recess each day, with small breaks throughout. Extended care option (for an additional fee) allows drop-off from 8 a.m. and pick-up until 5 p.m.

Our Summer Academy stands apart from traditional summer camps by offering an emphasis on real-world applications and practical skill development. Our program features insights from industry professionals, providing participants with valuable exposure to various careers and university programs. We prioritize the cultivation of leadership skills and the development of essential soft skills, ensuring a holistic and impactful learning experience that goes beyond the ordinary summer camp setting.

The Engineering Academy is geared towards budding engineers! This Academy focuses specifically on hands-on engineering activities and explores the intersectionality of different engineering disciplines when it comes to solving big problems. Students will meet with mentors from different engineering backgrounds and explore different areas of study.

Students will also have the opportunity to check out Carleton’s campus and engage in their own engineering experiments.
