Science Engagement Programs offers innovative and engaging programs designed to inspire youth and discover exciting topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Out of the Faculty of Science at York University, our programs use a discovery and inquiry-based learning approach that is focused on ‘learning by doing’.
We offer two high school summer programs:
Spark Lab Program
Escape the traditional classroom and learn science by DOING science. York University's Spark Lab Programs are week-long sessions designed for students in grades 9 to 12 who want more hands-on science. Using experiment-based learning, students explore physics, biology and chemistry through lab work. The Spark Lab Program does not require an application to attend, and registration can be completed online.
Helix Summer Science Institute
Considered one of Canada’s premier high school summer science enrichment program for students. This program has been suspended for Summer 2022.
