Interested in mentoring the next wave of research and improving high school STEM education? Get involved with the Discovery program this fall.
The Discovery Program at the University of Toronto is seeking mentors for its upcoming Fall 2026 term (October-December 2026). This initiative targets high schools with fewer educational resources, offering students an opportunity to engage in university-level STEM projects. In partnership with high school educators from the Toronto District School Board, participating students work in teams to design and execute experiments to solve real-world problems over three full day visits to U of T’s St. George campus. We are currently recruiting volunteer mentors to help guide high school students through their iterative designs. As a mentor, you’ll guide students through capstone-style research projects, helping them apply their knowledge in a hands-on, inquiry-based learning environment. You will also have the chance to gain skills and experience for future teaching opportunities, connect with fellow mentors, and share your passion for research and learning with students!
Mentoring with Discovery is open to all graduate students. The deadline to sign up is October 5.

We look forward to seeing you at Discovery!
