MCYU delivers free programming for children and youth ages 7-14 in all areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM). All of our programs are developed around our guiding philosophy, QUESTION – DISCOVER – CREATE™.
Our programs bridge the gap between the university and the wider Hamilton community by sharing the exciting research happening at McMaster University in a way that is fun and accessible to ALL children and youth. Our goal is to empower and academically prepare youth, especially those at a socioeconomic disadvantage, to aspire to university education in subject areas such as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).
Youth, families, schools and community agencies can currently engage with us at our Family Lecture Series presented by University Professors. Educators can book an online MCYU in the City Workshops to visit their class, and all are welcome to explore the MCYU Kid Zone page for asynchronous STEAM Learning activities.
