Interested in mentoring the next wave of scientists and improving high school STEM education? Get involved with the Discovery program this Spring!
The Discovery Program at the University of Toronto is seeking mentors for its upcoming Spring 2026 term (April 2026 – June 2026). This initiative targets high schools with fewer educational resources, offering students an opportunity to engage in university-level STEM projects. In partnership with high school educators from the Toronto District School Board, participating students work in teams to design and execute experiments to solve real-world problems over three full day visits to UofT. We are currently recruiting volunteer mentors to help guide high school students through their iterative designs. As a mentor, you’ll guide students through capstone projects in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, helping them apply their knowledge in a hands-on, inquiry-based learning environment. You will also have the chance to gain skills and experience for future teaching opportunities, connect with fellow mentors in the Discovery community, and share your passion for science and engineering with students!
