PREPARING THE WORLD’S FUTURE LEADERS AND INNOVATORS
The STEAM Project’s science activities for kids helps youth from JK to Post Secondary develop the skills necessary to thrive in the modern age by preparing them with the tools, literacy, and social skills critical for success
Times are Changing and Education Should Too!
At the STEAM Project, we value curiosity and experimentation. Resilience is key in our approach to problem-solving, in order to lead and thrive in a modern world that increasingly demands scientific innovation. Our science activities for kids and additional programs ignite creativity by providing hands-on learning opportunities and access to both low and high-tech tools.
Our Partners and Community Involvement
Tools and Technology We
Integrate in Our Programs
Just like learning a new language or playing a competitive sport, we reinforce, refine, and build on the skills learned. As kids get older, they will be introduced to new technologies challenged and with more intricate projects.

Workshop
Electronics
Learn the science that powers everything around you, from refrigerators to cars to even rockets! Kids will get to experiment and explore electricity, its source, and its applications in both the real world and in their own projects.
Robotics and Coding
From Ozobots to battlebots to drones, we’ve got them all! Learn how to design, build, and code your very own robot, ranging in complexity based on age group and skill. Start with basic skills including digital logics and block coding then work your way up towards using Arduinos and learning advanced programming languages like C++ and Python!
3D Design
Bring your ideas to life by modelling them using computer programs including Tinkercad and AutoCAD. Kids will improve their visual-spatial sense and awareness through designing and printing complex geometric objects using our 3D printers or by hand with multi-coloured 3D pens.
2D Design
Create designs for your clothing or projects and see them being developed in our vinyl or laser cutters. Watch as the laser cuts out your detailed sketches onto wood, plastic, fabric, and more! Kids will learn the basics of graphic design while improving their sense of symmetry, balance, and shape.
Workshop
Learn how to use hand tools such as hammers, saws, drills, and soldering irons to create the perfect toy, game, or gadget that you’ve always wanted! Bring creativity and skills together in the workshop where we have all of the woodworking tools, electronics, art supplies, and more to help your kid build any project they want.

What Our Parents Are Saying
The most awesome camp in Richmond Hill! In particular, I want to comment on the way that everyone greets the kids upon arrival. We’ve attended many different camps. I cannot begin to tell you how “drab” and unenthusiastic some staff members are at other camps. The camp leaders’ positive attitude really affects the way that the kids go into camp for the day. The leaders immediately greet my kids with a huge smile on their faces. For the first time ever, my kids leave my side at morning drop off without even saying good bye and without turning back to look at me. I know that this is such a small thing, but it’s incredible how so many people neglect to portray that warm and welcoming feeling towards children; and it’s amazing how much a warm greeting can translate to a feeling of security and happiness for the kids.

This is the best Summer Camp! When I first went for an open house, Jay and Huron were very welcoming and answered all my questions. During Spring Break, my son experimented and just loved it. Now, during Summer camp he’s always happy and learning so much. The team is always at the door to meet us with a big smile, not to mention the attention they give all the kids! I 100% recommend the STEAM Project.

Excellent combination of fun, creativity, and education! Everyone is very welcoming, fast to response, and pleasure to deal with. We both were extremely pleased with the experience, my son is already asking me to sign him up for 2 weeks next summer - highly recommend!

My children went for the first time this year and boy what an amazing experience. The staff was super friendly and they encouraged hands on learning. I would recommend this camp to anyone looking to encourage their kids love for science.

This is the second year my son has attended the STEAM project. He enjoys the camp very much and finds the staff super friendly. He stayed most of the summer for the two years and will continue to come. The topics are fascinating and each project is unique. He wished his day school is the STEAM project. 🙂

Matthew feels so comfortable being himself around all of you. There are not many people who see this side of him and I appreciate that you welcome him and encourage his creations.

I want to thank all of the counsellors at The STEAM Project for taking such good care of my children. Your time, attention, kindness, encouragement and spirit give my children the confidence they need before they head back to school.
- Joanne, Markham
She is able to see the role models in the young women at the camp which in turn allows her to confidently share her ideas with anyone she encounters. She is maturing beyond her years and that’s thanks in part to you facilitating her ability to grow.
