STEM Enrichment Courses

 

The STEM Enrichment Courses aim to challenge and excite highly-motivated students from grades 9 through 12 in various areas of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Led by upper-undergraduate and graduate engineering students, students explore advanced engineering topics and the range of projects engineers work on in order to build a better society. Students will realize what it means to be a well-rounded engineer in this community-oriented, remote and accessible virtual environment. Each course will run over four Saturdays and consist of live sessions and practical demonstrations. Students will also be invited to participate in optional activities that focus on degree and career exploration, personal development, and community-building.

 

This program is offered for participants who are currently in Grades 9-12 (2020-2021 school year). 

 

Registration for STEM Enrichment Courses will open on April 26th, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET. *Please note that the link to register will not be activated until this time.

 

Global Engineering Challenge

 

The Global Engineering Challenge aims to broaden the minds of Grade 9-12 students. This program is designed for highly committed and motivated students who have an interest in problem solving. Students are given the opportunity to engage with experts in the field of engineering every week, participate in workshops that provide students with a greater understanding of the issues and how to proceed in developing effective solutions. This program supports the goals of the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering in preparing students with the technical and trans-disciplinary competencies necessary for them to identify, learn, and apply along with engineering practices to resolve global challenges, create new technologies and contribute to the prosperity of society. 

 

This program is offered for participants who are currently in Grades 9-12 (2020-2021 school year). 

 

Registration for Global Engineering Challenge will open on April 26th, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET. *Please note that the link to register will not be activated until this time.

2021 Annual McMaster Brain Bee

 

The 2021 Canadian National Brain Bee competition and the Hamilton Brain Bee will be virtual!

The Canadian National Brain Bee, including local and national level competitions, will be virtual in 2021. The Local Brain Bee competition will be held on Friday, June 4, 2021.  The Canadian National Brain Bee competition will be held the very next day, on Saturday, June 5, 2021.  Please refer to the main page on this site for details. 

There will be only these two sets of study materials for BOTH local and national competitions.
All of the questions will come from these two books:
1.  “Neuroscience: Science of the Brain”
2.  “Brain Facts” (2018 edition)

For your interest (this part will not be tested), here is an introduction to the Neuroscience: Science of the Brain which includes authors, etc.  

Please refer to the main page on this site for registration details and other information as it gets updated.  Please be patient with us as we work on converting to a virtual platform for the Brain Bee.
