Empower Girls Science & Coding Camp
Join us for a week of science exploration and discovery! This camp is designed to empower those who identify as girls (ages 8-13) and are interested in learning about science and coding in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Hosted in partnership with UBC’s Dr. David Ng, the ongoing supervisor of the Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory (AMBL), activities will include hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) experiments, group projects, and opportunities to meet other girls and learn from each other.
