Our mission is to bridge the gap between high school and university education, addressing the challenges students face during this transition. By fostering strong collaborations between graduate students, faculty, and high school educators, Discovery enhances the educational experience. We aim to shift the focus from knowledge-based delivery to the cultivation of critical thinking skills, ensuring students are well-prepared for university-level academics.

Our
Approach

Discovery is founded, implemented, and delivered by post-secondary students with a vested interest in mentoring the next generation of STEM leaders.

Secondary students engage in Discovery through collaborative projects inspired by inquiry- and problem-based learning amounting to 10–15% of their course credit. Through the program we hope students, mentors, or educators—gain valuable experience in mentorship, leadership, collaboration, educational design, and outside-the-box thinking.
