TeamUP Science
About
Our mandate is to cultivate scientific imagination, curiosity and leadership abilities of youths, especially those who are under-represented (Indigenous, Socially Vulnerable, and Rural), in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by providing innovative hands-on learning, guided mentorship and interactive networking. We work with post-secondary institutions and community science groups to centralize resources and build unique approaches to science learning. Through our programs, youths engage with mentor scientists who will provide guidance towards advanced education in Science and Technology.
TeamUP Science hosts various STEM competitions including the Interdisciplinary Science Competition (ISC) for high school students across Alberta for junior high and high school students across Canada. We also host Youth STEAM Innovation Challenge (YSIC) for junior high students, and Health Sciences, Engineering, and Computer Science Workshops for students of all ages to learn about these specific STEM fields. Last but not least, we put on a weekly, after-school science program for Junior High students in low-income schools through our Youth Science Innovate Program (YSIP).
