Creativity Through Innovation
Spark your child’s creativity at The STEAM Project’s Makerspace. Students from JK to Grade 8 can learn coding & STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) through our in-person courses and classes. Our curriculum is developed by Ontario Certified Teachers, and we provide access to advanced tools and technology like 3D printers, robotics, and laser cutters for students to learn in a hands-on, experiential way!
Spark your child’s creativity at The STEAM Project! Makers from JK to Grade 8 explore coding and STEAM through hands-on, in-person courses. With a curriculum developed by Ontario Certified Teachers, makers gain experience using advanced tools like 3D printers, robotics, and laser cutters to bring their ideas to life.
The STEAM Project’s Fall Term courses give students the opportunity to turn ideas into hands-on learning experiences. Through programs like Woodworking, Tiny Homes, 3D Printing, and our Inventor series, students build practical skills using professional-grade tools in a safe, structured, and age-appropriate environment.
The STEAM Project’s Fall Courses turn ideas into hands-on learning. From Woodworking and Tiny Homes to 3D Printing and our Inventor series, makers build practical skills using professional-grade tools in a safe, age-appropriate environment.

Summer Camp 2026 Cancellation Policy
We hire staff, secure rentals, and purchase materials months before camp begins, and as the start of camp approaches, it becomes more difficult to adjust for cancellations. Incremental fees account for the increasing impact of late cancellations on our ability to manage costs and deliver quality programs.
There will be no refund for days missed during a camp session for any reason. In the unusual circumstance where a camper’s conduct results in their dismissal from camp, no credit or refund will be provided for missed days and/or sessions.
Cancellations before the camp season: refer to our Cancellation Fee Guide below.
Adding Sessions: Space permitting, sessions can be added at the fee in effect at the time of the addition.
Changing Sessions: Space permitting, sessions may be swapped at any time. If changing to a longer or shorter session (e.g. 9-day to 10-day), the difference in registration fees will be charged or a credit applied accordingly. Credits must be used before the end of the following camp season (next summer).
Additional Notes: Registrations and fees are not transferable outside the immediate family. The STEAM Project reserves the right to change or update our policies and/or programs at any time.
