The mission of Discovery is to channel our members’ passion for education, critical thinking, and community to empower high school students to explore and build confidence in realistic science and engineering environments. Each semester, our volunteer team of graduate and undergraduate mentors collaborate with Toronto District School Board teachers to develop educational experiences that allow high school students to explore aspects of physics, biology, and chemistry in new and creative ways beyond what’s possible in a traditional classroom. Participating high school students complete inquiry-based projects in U of T laboratory spaces while being guided and mentored by Discovery members during multiple visits to campus throughout the semester. Members of the Discovery program have a unique opportunity to gain pedagogical experience and foster the next generation of scientists and engineers within the community.
