Young Innovators - Online After School Program
Event description
Innovation continues to change the world. At every point in the day you experience a creation that has impacted how we move, communicate and explore our world. Think about the invention of the phone, of a hybrid car, even the traffic lights you see, every innovation began to improve human lives in some way.
The Young Innovators after school program is a series of workshops for students interested in learning what it takes to design, create, and innovate. Our young people will work with an expert team of facilitators and will be challenged to bring their ideas to life through a range of topics. They can take their pick of the following sessions or choose them all!
