“…The students had an opportunity to listen to many talks during the camp, including: (i) astronomy, (ii) space law, (iii) space business, (iv) satellite and UAV navigation and communications [4], (v) Magellan-Bristol in space (the rockets used by NASA from Churchill, Manitoba), and (vi) other car design competitions at the UofM.…”

Attracting high-school students to science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) shouldbe easy today, but it is not in practice. Universities andorganizations such as the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE) have invested much effortand implemented many useful mechanisms to increase theenrollment, including open house events, teaching teachersdays, IEEE’s Teachers In Service Program (TISP), IEEE’sEngineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS), aswell as IEEE’s TryEngineering, TryComputing, andTryNano. We have developed a number of new initiatives toaddress the problem in Manitoba, and feel that theapproach can be used elsewhere.This paper describes two such initiatives: a spacecamp for high-school students grade 9 to 11, and the VernaKirkness Program (VKP) discovery camp for Indigenoushigh-school students. The first camp was offered severaltimes already, while the second camp was delivered for thefirst time in 2013.

“…Our university EL engagement activities include: multi-tier laboratories [7], industrial capstone projects [8], and complex design projects such as the T-Sat [6] and a wildlife conservation UAV. To attract the next generation of designers, outreach to high-school and primary-school students must also be conducted through hands-on activities, including (i) Open-house days (shopping malls, university), (ii) workshops (e.g., electronics, microcontrollers, rockets, and robotics), (iii) high-altitude balloon launching, (iv) teaching-teacher workshops, (v) summer space discovery camps [5], (vi) Aboriginal high-school student exploratory camps, and (vii) direct mentorship.…”
