Community Outreach
SuperNOVA strives to inspire and empower youth through STEM, regardless of their geographic location, socio-economic situation, ability, gender or lived experience.
SuperNOVA works closely with community partners and
youth-serving organizations in Atlantic Canada to provide
high-quality STEM education.
By consulting with community leaders and educators and sharing resources and expertise, our collaborative approach maximizes the impact, relevancy, and accessibility of each of our community-based outreach initiatives.
Outreach Camps
Summer outreach camps bring the SuperNOVA camp experience to youth in communities across Atlantic Canada! Every summer, SuperNOVA travels to deliver these week-long programs in partnership with communities and youth-serving organizations. Outreach camps introduce participants to STEM concepts, careers, and mentors through fun experiments and innovative hands-on activities.
SuperNOVA’s outreach programs are supported by local and national supporters and Actua. For more information on enrolling in, supporting, or hosting SuperNOVA outreach programs in your community, please contact us at supernova@dal.ca.
In 2022, SuperNOVA reached over 17,000 youth, and over 90% of which was free-of-charge programming designed to minimize financial barriers to access. Furthermore, 78% of these free programs were delivered directly to participants in rural, remote, First Nation, Black and low-income communities, contributing to a more diverse future workforce.
