Wise Kid-Netic Energy is returning to Thompson with two camp programs for youth to take part in this summer.

 

The STEM camps for kids 9 to 12 are back, alongside a new program called TechToks for youth ages 13 to 15.

 

Instead of a week-long camp, TechTok participants can pick and choose which of the eight sessions they’d like to take part in.

 

The organization’s Caleigh Bell states these camps are a unique opportunity for youth in our community to learn more about STEM topics in ways that may not otherwise be available to them.

 

“It’s really important for us as one of our hopes is to reach youth all around Manitoba so that’s why we like to travel to Northern communities like Thompson. Places where maybe opportunities like this don’t exist year round or aren’t as readily. We want to give all youth the opportunity to try their hand at this and see if it ignites a passion in them.”   

 

For more on the STEM camps, listen to Thompson Today at 12:40 and 5:10 this afternoon.
