We offer programming designed to inspire children and youth across the Yukon in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Trades (STEAM) through creative hands-on activities. Our programming provides fun, engaging, culturally enriched activities that encourages children and youth to explore their sense of wonder. Youth are introduced to hands-on, place-based activities that promotes discovery, rewards curiosity, and leaves children amazed at what they can do.
