School's out for summer, but there's no rest from academics for eight North Shore high school students who will spend the next month immersed in higher learning.
Sarah Bains (Grade 12, Argyle secondary), Scott Brooks (Grade 11, Sentinel secondary), Samir Damji (Grade 10, Collingwood School), Sean Si Hyuk Lee (Grade 11, Collingwood School), Christina MacLeod (Grade 11, Rockridge secondary), Serena Schimert (Grade 11, West Vancouver secondary), Liam Wolverton (Grade 11, Collingwood School) and Amber Daifen Zeng (Grade 11, West Vancouver secondary) are among 658 youth selected to attend SHAD, a national science, technology, engineering and math program (STEM) that begins Sunday, July 5.
Each participant will stay in-residence for four weeks at one of 12 host universities across the country and participate in lectures, workshops, projects and activities focused on STEM.
According to a press release, SHAD is a competitive, application-based process and those students selected have top marks, a strong community focus and come from diverse backgrounds.
