Welcome to the McMaster Children & Youth University

About this event:

McMaster University is proud to be one of 13 North American universities participating in the EcoCAR EV Challenge, North America’s premier collegiate automotive engineering competition.

This four-year competition challenges teams to apply advanced propulsion systems, automation, and vehicle connectivity technologies to the 2023 Cadillac LYRIQ—all while balancing energy efficiency, decarbonization, and customer-centric design.

Through providing students with interactive training, industry presentations, and hours of real-world hands-on experience, the McMaster EcoCAR team helps build the next generation of engineers to address the future of mobility.

About this event:

Before your parents were even born, astronomers only knew of nine planets within our solar system, but now we know of thousands! Some are so hot that they rain iron and others orbit cold stars so we think that trees on those planets would have red leaves instead of green. Together we will explore how astronomers discover new planets and dive into some of these strange worlds that fill our galaxy!

Once upon a time, a group of skeletons lived in a dark and gloomy dungeon. They spent all their days clattering as they walked around, scaring anyone who came near. One day, a brave adventurer student stumbled upon the dungeon and instead of running away in fear, the adventurer decided to strike up a conversation with the skeletons. Come on this “Bone” Voyage to learn about the bones in our skeletal system (anatomy) and the cells involved in their growth, maintenance, and remodelling (physiology)!
