High School
Interdisciplinary Science Competition
Started in 2013, the Interdisciplinary Science Competition (ISC) prides itself on being TeamUP Science’s oldest event, and the first STEM-focused competition aimed at high school students of all social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. ISC hosts university level labs and multiple workshops for high school students, then asks them to apply the knowledge they learned throughout the weekend-long event for the chance to win prizes.

Jr. High
Youth Science Innovate Program
There are currently few, if any, opportunities for Edmonton’s junior high students to explore and become involved with science studies. The goal of YSIP is to provide a safe, well rounded and supportive after school science program that is both within and beyond the Alberta Education curriculum. On a weekly basis, students will expand both their knowledge on scientific theory and capacity for asking critical questions! Some of our volunteers this year are in the fields of neuroscience, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, physiology, and more!

Youth STEAM Innovation Challenge
The Youth STEAM Innovation Challenge (YSIC) is an interdisciplinary competition for junior high students (grades 7-9) that aims to foster creative thinking and teamwork skills. YSIC is a day-long circuit-style competition in which individuals or teams of 2 will be exposed to a series of short and long challenges.
