About Us
Our Goal
Our goal is to inspire and empower students to become lifelong learners who understand and implement the art of successful learning. We believe true education goes beyond the acquisition of facts and includes creating a love of learning, developing critical thinking abilities, and encouraging creativity.
Community Engagement
At Young Innovators, we have a solution to address the issue of limited STEM education for children. Our comprehensive and engaging programs cover Robotics, Coding, AI, and 3D Printing, and are led by experienced instructors.
We design our courses to offer hands-on project-based learning, utilizing high-quality educational-grade hardware, which encourages students to explore, innovate, and learn.
We are committed to demystifying STEAM myths and making STEAM education more accessible to everyone. We believe that educational opportunities should be available to all, regardless of their socioeconomic background. To achieve this goal, we offer sponsorships and reduce financial barriers to entry for our programs. We have established partnerships with local non-profit organizations and receive funding from municipal, provincial, and government grants to support this initiative. Stay tuned to learn more about our initiatives and join us to be part of a larger movement!
