High school education is delivered with a knowledge-based delivery whereas university has an emphasis on critical thinking. This presents a gap in student experience where the transition to university can be challenging. In a strong collaboration between graduate students, faculty, and high school educators, the Discovery platform aims to close the gap between learning levels. The program emphasizes data-based learning through a semester-long iterative course project and exposes senior high school cohorts to a university learning environment, enforcing critical thinking through inquiry focused experiential learning. Toronto District School Board partner schools include proactive teachers and resource-challenged schools.
