阅读理解You might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.
The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road.
“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.
At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17,which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.
SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).
“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”
