In a world of increasingly high demands for scientific and technological innovation, The STEAM Project encourages youth to use their skills to improve the lives of others through hands-on experiences with new and emerging technology while focusing on empathy and designing with purpose. We have been building our program for children and teens for over five years and are now active in both Richmond Hill and Markham.
Our Mission
- To make children & teens think about the future, including new improvements and inventions to better the lives of others through a human-centered approach to thinking & creating.
- Give innovative and inspired young people the opportunity to experiment in ways often unavailable at school with the technology often unavailable at home.
- Create a specific environment where new ways of thinking, learning, and imagining are valued & celebrated.
