Outreach Programs
Extracurricular activities allow our students to pursue passions and interests that fall outside the normal curriculum. These activities can include special interest clubs, arts, STEM classes and athletics. Our school is proud to offer a variety of extracurricular opportunities that enhance our students’ learning experiences.
The school started 10 years ago with Roots 2 STEM providing STEM education to families and schools. With Roots 2 STEM we reached out to 1600 new students every year. With all the curriculum we have built and taught over ten years, we are using as a foundation to build a better school. Roots 2 STEM is now the outreach program for Capstone Engineering Academy, providing Summer Camps, SPACE Camp, Maker Faire Calgary and more.
Outreach STEM programs include:
Junior Engineers
Monthly Program
A workshop with real engineering experience. Our signature program has allowed students to design and build whatever their imaginations can dream up, from the mechanical and electronics to 3D-printed robotic projects that are currently underway in the lab. The program is designed for anyone who loves to build, who is curious about engineering, science & technology.
The Junior Engineers program teaches project management, decision making, strategic thinking and problem solving. Students have the opportunity to work with our volunteers/mentors that include engineering students, professional engineers and technologists.
This program offers small group sizes for more individual attention.
