Boost your child’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills with Ontario Tech University’s Engineering Outreach!

Each c_wonder STEM Workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of the engineering design process as they tackle design challenges that puts their STEM knowledge to the test. Students will get a chance to explore different STEM fields and how engineering can solve its diverse and real-world issues.

In this workshop, participants will gain an understanding of automotive engineering, forces acting on a vehicle, and design factors that make vehicles more efficient. Participants will be challenged to design an efficient vehicle powered by a chemical reaction. Using the engineering design process, participants will learn about the forces acting on their cars and make adjustments to their design to improve efficiency and speed. In this fun, learning-filled environment, participants will have the opportunity to make discoveries, think critically, and solve problems.
