From working with hydraulic arms to dissecting perches, black youth had the opportunity to learn more about the world of engineering during ENGage, a week-long day camp from students in grade seven and eight. Participants conducted hands-on activities that demonstrated engineering principles and practices.
Resulting from a partnership between the U of T Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, the initiative aimed to address the under-representation of students from African and Caribbean backgrounds in engineering programs.
