Description
Blueprint is an academic enrichment program designed for Black students interested in science and engineering. Blueprint is open to Canadian students currently in Grades 10 and 11 who identify as Black, and are interested in careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
The program consists of four weeks of summer programming followed by year-long engagement.
Summer Program
The summer program is in-person at the University of Toronto's St. George campus for four weeks in July. 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 two engineering-focused summer courses, fun and 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 going into Grade 11 will participate in Prepare, which focuses on exploring leadership and the further development of soft-skills.
Students going into Grade 12 will participate in My Academic Preparation Sessions—or MAPS—which focuses on applying and successful strategies for University.
