STEM Entrepreneurship Bootcamp
Halifax - July 2 - 5
The STEM Entrepreneurship Bootcamp is a week-long summer camp designed to empower African Nova Scotian high school students to take charge of their futures by providing access to educational, mentorship, leadership and experiential learning skills that are required to succeed in the modern workforce. Because technological and scientific innovations affect our lives and provide economic benefits, youth should be equipped with STEM knowledge, skills, and abilities.
