Engineering Outreach - Online High School Programs


We are pleased to announce new details for more online high school programs!  Registration for our Academic Preparation Courses and STEM Enrichment Courses are set to open on Thursday, July 30th, 2020 at 4:00PM ET. 
  

Academic Preparation Courses
The Academic Preparation Courses aim to enrich the knowledge and skills of grade 9 - 11 students on core Ontario high-school level math and science curriculum. Designed in consultation with current Ontario high-school teachers, these non-credit courses consist of a curated suite of online materials and real-world challenge problems to practice problem-solving skills. Students will meet daily with their Mentor (current engineering student) to receive guidance through group review sessions and activities. 

This program is offered for participants who have just finished grades 9, 10, or 11 in the 2019-2020 year. Please be aware that this is not a remedial course. The Academic Preparation Courses are intended for students that wish to supplement their existing knowledge in order to help better prepare themselves for math, chemistry, and science in the upcoming school year.

More information:
Program information, course descriptions, and registration links can be found on our website.

STEM Enrichment Courses
The STEM Enrichment Courses aim to challenge and excite highly-motivated students from grades 9 - 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. 

This program is offered for participants who have just finished grades 9, 10, 11, or 12 in the 2019-2020 year.
