Teen Programs

Coming soon, the Faculty of Engineering will be offering hands-on credited high school summer courses.  Stay tuned!

Targeting girls and boys in grades 7-10, this bilingual educational initiative provides a great introduction into various technologies such as: 3D printing, laser cutting, and Arduino programming. Taught by engineering students, these Saturday clubs will give students the opportunity to design and build a home automation project using electrical circuits, sensors, Arduino and other technologies. Each Saturday the teens will work on different components of their project, experiment with new tech, and learn valuable engineering skills.

The clubs are offered in two different settings, the Teen Tech Club for all and the Teen Tech Club for girls. Please note that the curriculum is the same for the Club for girls and the Club for all.
