The Advanced Math Club is an open-enrollment program for advanced students in grades 9-12. It is designed for students who are looking for a challenge in Mathematics.
This in-person program runs once a year during the Fall term. Each year it has a standalone special topic with learning that goes in-depth. The topic will be is creative, fun, and somewhat abstract; in other words, what mathematicians consider “real math”. The Advanced Math Club includes both lecture-style teaching and significant time devoted to independent and small-group problem-solving.

The Count Me In program at the University of Toronto aims to reduce math anxiety and improve student confidence through fostering student enthusiasm for math, and helping educators to teach math in engaging ways. The goal of the Count Me In program is to improve attitudes and beliefs, and counter anxiety towards math through working with young Canadians and educators to inspire interest in mathematics and motivate them to see math as part of their future education. This program works towards this goal through two initiatives: an in-school program for elementary students and a program for math teachers.

The Fields Trip Program invites classrooms across Canada to the Fields Institute to participate in a hands-on math workshop. This program is offered both in-person and online, and the workshops give students a chance to explore math concepts not typically covered in the standard curriculum. Students see how these concepts connect to the real world and to the research conducted in the Mathematics Department by some of the world’s top math researchers. Students also experience a class at Canada’s largest university.
This is a free Field trip program for Canadian students in grades 3-12, and can accommodate groups of up to 40 students during the school year (October to June). There is a variety of enriching and engaging topics for classroom teachers to choose from that not covered in the Ontario curriculum.

The Transitional Year Programme (TYP) is an in-person, full-time, eight-month access-to-University program. Founded 50+ years ago, TYP began at Innis College, University of Toronto, in 1970 with approximately 25 students. The programme has its roots in the Black community in Toronto, having emerged out of two community summer programmes in 1969 and 1970.
TYP annually welcomes 50-55 students from diverse backgrounds. TYP is designed to empower individuals, primarily adult learners, who have encountered obstacles to post-secondary education, by providing academic preparation, personal development, financial support and community engagement opportunities. TYP has a committed and highly qualified faculty and staff, who prepare students for university degree studies by upgrading their skills and knowledge in academic courses and by providing intensive supportive counselling.

Camp U of T Scarborough focuses on igniting passions and inspiring learning by providing engaging, hands-on experiences that encourage personal growth and exploration. The Leadership Camp (Ages 13-15) focuses on building leadership skills, teamwork, and confidence through dynamic activities and mentorship. Meanwhile, the Themed Camp (Ages 6-12) immerses campers in exciting, themed experiences that blend fun with learning, sparking creativity and curiosity in a supportive environment. Both camps provide opportunities for personal growth, skill-building, and unforgettable summer experiences. Campers are challenged to discover new interests, build confidence, and develop valuable skills in a supportive and fun environment.

The Youth Enrichment Academy (YEA!) is an after school initiative designed to address the gap in programming for youth (ages 11-14) in the Regent Park and surrounding communities. The program prepares students for success in high school and beyond by engaging them in hands on learning opportunities and science activities.

Science Unlimited offers high school students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a week of workshops from the Departments of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Math, Physics and the School of the Environment.

Class visits aim to inspire a new generation of physicists by engaging high school students in tours, talks and workshops in the Department of Physics. Participants explore physics topics through workshops, talks, or labs facilitated by professors and graduate students. Participants also tour spaces like research labs, telescopes and the campus more broadly.

This two-day event is aimed at high-school students planning to write the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) Prize examination. The goal of the event is to have the students who participate leave feeling more confident with physics and test taking in general. The first workshop discusses strategies for solving CAP exam and work in small groups to discuss practice questions (including from past exams), with guidance from Physics Faculty members. The second workshop focuses on discussion of the take home exam, question and answer session, and work in smaller groups with guidance from Undergraduate students.

The Imani Academic Mentorship Program is a legacy program running for over a decade at UTSC that serves to create access and inclusion pathways to Black youth in the Scarbrough Community. It connects Black youth to mentorship, tutoring and educational and career opportunities which allow them to explore post-secondary education. Imani engages with this systemic injustice by engaging Black UTSC students, who reflect the community we aim to serve. Black UTSC students take on mentorship roles in seven East Scarborough elementary and high schools by forging relationships and supporting Black youth in grades 7 – 12 with their academic studies and personal journeys. Student leaders guide the youth through an Afro-centric curriculum (workshop format) focused on Black Joy, racial & social justice, arts, and healing. Imani creates access points to post-secondary education, student support, and tools and resources to encourage students to move beyond institutionalized barriers and experience their personal excellence.
