Blueprint
July 8 - July 12
Blueprint is a four-week academic enrichment experience for motivated Black students passionate about science and engineering.
Blueprint is an academic enrichment program designed for highly motivated Black students interested in science and engineering. Blueprint is open to Canadian students currently in Grades 10 and 11, and are interested in careers in STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math).
Summer Program
The program consists of four weeks of summer programming followed by a program of year-long engagement. This year, the summer program is in-person at the University of Toronto’s St. George campus. This in-person program invites students to think about design and innovation—applicable to any engineering field. Students will have the opportunity to participate in fun, educational excursions and community-building events.
Year-Long Engagement
After the program’s summer component, students will stay connected through one of two year-long engagement streams. These activities span from regular meet-ups to monthly webinars. Students in grade 12 will participate in My Academic Preparation Sessions—or MAPS—which focuses on applying and successful strategies for University. While students in grade 11 will participate in Prepare, which focuses on exploring leadership and the further development of soft-skills.
This program supports the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering’s mission to equip students with the technical and interdisciplinary skills and confidence necessary to create innovative solutions to current real-world issues. This program will be held in person this year.
*Please note this is an application-based program.
