Review From A Parent
The team’s commitment to encouraging a love of science and technology is amazing. They helped to nurture my son’s interest in robotics. He’s even begun to create his own robotic inventions because of how much fun and useful learning has become.

Common Q&A's
All of our young innovators have an opportunity to develop analytical and problem-solving skills that will help them excel in middle and high school.
Students have fun making new friends while designing and building their own games, toys, and robots.
Introducing kids to STEM subjects early will equip them with the skills they need to thrive later in life, as STEM occupations are projected to grow by almost 11% by 2031, over twice as fast as the growth for all occupations.
At Young Innovators Robotics Labs we have a team of motivated, enthusiastic instructors and mentors that are excited about STEAM! All our instructors have hands-on experience in the STEM industry. They also complete criminal record checks, first aid training, and teacher training to effectively teach STEM subjects to children.
All our programs are vetted and delivered in collaboration with local recreation centres. When registering for our courses, you will be taken to the recreation centre’s website to complete the registration.
Our programs align with the Applied Design, Skills and Technologies Curriculum (ADST) certified by the B.C. government.
