The inaugural I-STEM Innovation Conference brought together more than 300 students from all three I-STEM programs at Aldershot HS, Elsie MacGill SS and T.A. Blakelock HS. Students listened to a presentation about AI and participated in a design challenge that tasked them with creating an inventive new toy design.
I-STEM is an innovative, regional program for secondary students (Grade 9-12) in Halton and beyond. Students in this four-year program develop innovation skills related to engineering design and design thinking, entrepreneurial thinking skills and global competencies. Students learn to be prepared for technological change and disruption, globalization and shifting demographics.
