STEM Workshop for Youth (Ages 12-18)

Saturday, October 18 | 9:30 am to 3:00 pm | Activity Room

Imagine a world where everyday objects can sense, think, and even send messages. In this hands-on workshop, youth will become young innovators, using Arduino micro-controllers and sensors to build smart systems—from environmental monitors to automated gadgets.

Facilitated by our U of T Ph.D. candidates, you will have opportunity to wire circuits, write code, and bring ideas to life, discovering how technologies behind smart homes and precision agriculture really work. This is more than a tech project, this program sparks creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, empowering kids to become inventors and change-makers in a connected world. Register now to join us!
