Engineering Outreach | Youth in STEM
Inspiring the Next Generation Through Engineering at U of G
At Guelph Engineering, we believe curiosity is the first step toward innovation. Our outreach programs are designed to engage youth in hands-on, creative experiences that bring engineering to life in fun and meaningful ways.
Through interactive workshops, design challenges, and real-world problem-solving, young learners explore how engineering shapes the world around them—and how they can be part of that future. Whether in classrooms or on campus, we’re building pathways that encourage discovery, confidence, and a passion for possibility.
Let’s spark the potential in every young mind—one idea at a time.
