That’s a wrap on another summer of science! 🧪🔬☀️

This summer, young scientists joined us at York University for hands-on experiments, fun activities and plenty of opportunities to discover the world of STEM.

We kicked off the summer with Faculty of Science Dean Maydianne Andrade introducing campers to her research on black widow spiders 🕷️ and also welcomed MP Judy Sgro, who stopped by to meet some of our young scientists and learn more about the program.

A special thank you to MP Judy Sgro for visiting us, and to Actua Canada for their continued support of our programs and for helping make the visit possible! ❤️

Thank you as well to all of our campers, instructors and staff who made this summer possible. We loved seeing so many young scientists learn, experiment and explore with us!

A launch to remember for York University! 🚀
York’s Arbalest Rocketry team competed at the 2026 Launch Canada Challenge, a national competition where university teams design, build and launch high-powered rockets.
Their rocket, Red Robin, reached 20,000 feet in York’s most successful launch yet, with a special guest calling the countdown: Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield!
On board was a science experiment involving light-responsive algae cells, led by recent Faculty of Science Biology graduate Seyed Masoumi Lari alongside Ozzy Mermut.
The team took home second place for Red Robin and second place in the Science Payload Challenge! 🥈
Congratulations to the entire team on this incredible achievement! 👏
