WE’RE BACK ON THE ROAD!

Bringing fun STEM opportunities to communities in Manitoba! Find details below!


week-long day camps full of messy and interactive STEM!

Our summer day camps let kids ages 9-12 in on an exciting world of discovery and innovation. Participants will explore science, technology, or engineering topics each day of the week through a multitude of hands-on projects and activities. Camps include indoor and outdoor components, and incorporate everything from physical activity to creative design challenges, to digital technology.

Each year we develop a new set of STEM theme days for our Kid-Netic Energy STEM camp and bring them to locations across Manitoba! Find out when we'll be in your town and register for STEM Camp below!
