If you’re a high school student with an interest in science, technology, engineering, or math, summer STEM programs are a great way to dive deeper into these fields. Many of these programs are designed to give students experience, problem-solving skills, and exposure. They’re also a great way to connect with like-minded peers and mentors, without necessarily coming with the high price tag of international or residential programs.
Across Canada, a number of reputable universities, research institutions, and nonprofits offer STEM programs specifically for high school students, making them both accessible and high in quality. Whether you're looking to explore biomedical research, robotics, or environmental engineering, there's likely a program tailored to your interests. These programs can help you strengthen your college applications and give you a clearer sense of the pathways available in STEM careers.
