Youth Programming

Youth Programming aims to spark an interest in a wide variety of subjects and themes for those under the age of 18.

Lakehead University offers a variety of hands-on and interactive experiences for children and youth. Current programs are designed to ignite interest in the sciences, technology, and nature.

The Nature Explorers With Technology (NEWT) program, for youth 14 to 18 years old, is run in partnership with Lakehead University and Let’s Talk Science. NEWT develops naturalist skills of youth while participating in community science initiatives (e.g., iNaturalist) and practicing science communication.
