We had the pleasure of hosting Doane Grant Thorton this month for an impactful afternoon building and testing . Visionโ€™s STEM-at-Home kits are packed with activities designed to spark curiosity and confidence in children and youth outside of the classroom through experiments in physics, kinesiology, sustainability, and engineering. ๐Ÿ‘ท๐Ÿพ

Thanks to our amazing volunteers, we assembled 100 STEM kits that will support immersive STEM education, inspiring exploration and creative problem-solving for youth across the GTA. ๐Ÿš€

A huge thank you to Doane Grant Thorton LLP for your commitment to empowering youth, STEM Equity, and supporting STEM Education.

It was amazing to see how the community came together to celebrate the incredible youth from our STEM Clubs programming, and our grade 8 grads! Honouring youth voices, participants shared how community support empowers them to tackle complex STEM challenges.

By fusing technical skills, communication, and teamwork, these young brilliant minds presented and pitched real-world prototypes to solve problems using STEM. ๐Ÿ’ก

Weโ€™re continuing our ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—  ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป series, highlighting some of our hands-on interactive STEM tools. Next up: Virtual Reality! ๐Ÿฅฝ

This interactive activity engages youth in exploring immersive technology systems through hands-on digital experiences. Using VR headsets, itโ€™s an opportunity to explore VR landscapes and build familiarity with AI and new technologies. Additionally, adding gaming to our hands-on activities allows youth to explore different STEM fields and applications that closely align with their interests.

Designed to spark curiosity and confidence, modules like VR are equipping youth with interactive experiences to inspire their future careers in STEM such as game programming, 3D modelling, software engineering, and beyond! โœจ
