Promoting Awareness of Girls in Engineering and Science (P.A.G.E.S.)

As part of Actua—Canada’s largest STEM outreach network—Creative Encounters is committed to creating barrier-free opportunities for underrepresented youth in STEM. Through Actua’s National Girls Program, we empower girls to explore fields like engineering and computer science, where women are still underrepresented.

P.A.G.E.S. Camp Takeovers (Gr. 2–8)

Back by popular demand, our P.A.G.E.S. program is taking over select camps this summer:

  • Mini-Makers Lab (Gr. 2-3) – July 20-24
  • Tech Quest (Gr. 4-5) – July 13-17
  • Chem Quest (Gr. 6-8) – August 10-14
  • Future Engineers (Gr. 6-8) – July 27-31
  • Game Design (Gr. 6-8) – August 17-21

Join us for a summer of discovery, creativity, and STEM-powered fun!

As part of the Thursday programming, Grades 2–3 participants enjoy a special late-day pizza party at 4 p.m., offering a fun and social way to wrap up the day. Older participants in Grades 4-5 and 6–8 are invited to stay for an evening pizza “dinner” and extended activities, with programming running until 8 p.m.
