8-Week Summer STEM Camp

Overview

  • Annual
  • July – August

The 8-Week Summer STEM Camp is ACHIST’s flagship annual initiative and one of the most comprehensive STEM and AI immersion experiences available to African Canadian youth in Canada.

The extended eight-week format enables deep skill development, meaningful mentorship relationships, and a strong sense of community belonging that short-term programs cannot replicate.

The inclusion of a dedicated AI and Data Science module directly responds to Canada’s national priority in artificial intelligence and equips youth for the fastest-growing sectors of the economy.

Participants graduate with tangible projects, professional networks, university exposure, and a reinforced identity as future STEM leaders.
