Discovery Camp UNBSJ

09/28/2026

This fall, we’re bringing the creativity and hands-on learning of Discovery Camp into the school year with an 8-week Youth Maker program for Grades 6-8 at UNB Saint John.

Each week, participants will explore exciting maker technologies like 3D printing, robotics, coding, precision cutting and engraving tools, sewing machines, and more! With guidance from knowledgeable UNB Saint John students, they will have the opportunity to create projects inspired by their own interests while learning new skills.

Participants will have the freedom to design, build, experiment, and learn by doing, all while making friends and having fun!

This week, we had the incredible opportunity to host one of our UNB Discovery Camps in collaboration with Port Saint John

Campers spent the week exploring robotics, coding, Minecraft, and engineering design, all while overlooking the busy harbour. They also enjoyed a behind-the-scenes visit to Area 506 and an unforgettable bus tour through DP World Saint John, where they experienced port operations up close and got to practice loading a container ship using a high-tech crane simulator!

A huge thank you to Port Saint John for such an inspiring week on the waterfront!

March Break Camps were a blast!

Our STEAM campers put their creativity and problem solving to the test with Marble Olympics. In teams, students designed, built, and tested their own marble events while completing planning workbooks and incorporating technology and uniquely created 3D Printed elements into their designs. The week wrapped up with an exciting marble showdown on the final afternoon. Congratulations to all campers for their incredible ideas and teamwork - check out the awesome photos and videos of their creations.

Our Creative Scene writers wrapped up their week by stepping into the world of movie making, ending with a premiere to showcase their films. We saw impressive stop motion, comedy sketches, and even commercials. Great work, everyone!
