Camps STIMA

"8500+ youth from all walks of life attended in-person & Virtual BL Summer STEAM

This summer saw the exciting return of Brilliant Labs’ free, inperson STEAM Camps to Atlantic Canada! Our camps had been disrupted over the past two years due to COVID-19, and they returned this summer with over 8,500 enthusiastic youth from all walks of life attending in-person & virtual camps. Across the region, youth had lots of fun learning how to be artists, engineers, designers, scientists, and inventors through hands-on, experiential learning. As well, in offering a wide-range of engaging activities and projects, camp participants developed their digital knowledge and skills using today's technology. None of this would have been possible without our partnerships with 40 community centres, public libraries, schools and youthserving organizations who hosted our STEAM Camps in their locations, free-ofcharge. Hats off as well to our brilliant STEAM Mentors and Coordinators who worked with us this summer, and all our donors, funders and partners who supported our camps.

VIRTUAL CAMPS

In addition to our in-person camps, Brilliant Labs offered virtual camps, which included special interest topics to engage children (grades 1 to 6+). These compelling learning opportunities were accessible from anywhere that had an internet connection and included themes such as Above and Beyond: Space Exploration, Art-chitecture to Math-tastic Journey, Cybersecurity, Entrepreneurship and Web Development, just to name few. Over 800 youth developed valuable skills while having a blast in our virtual camp sessions!

PEI summer camps helped reduce waste by using recycled plastic bottles and paper to launch bottle rockets. Kids made their own paper to decorate the rockets using recycled paper, mushrooms and water! Such a blast!!
