Engineers without Borders -- Social Change and Youth Leadership Conference

The Social Change and Youth Leadership Conference (SCYLC) hosted by the University of Toronto Chapter of Engineers Without Borders. This conference provides an opportunity for ambitious high school students to get involved and learn more about global development problems as well as being able to experience 2 days of university life!

The event will take place at the University of Toronto, St. George campus from May 27 to 28 (we will be providing accommodation and food for students).

This year, the theme of the conference is Technology Raceway. On Saturday, students will hear from guest speakers on risk and resource management in a global context. After a day of listening to our amazing speakers, they will stay overnight in one of the university’s residences and participate in meaningful discussions and fun activities. On Sunday, the students will have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a design challenge. Students will be divided into teams and given three hours to tackle a real-world development issue and the winning team will receive a prize.

The registration cost is $89 CAD which includes residence, all meals, conference materials, a t-shirt and other conference takeaways. Students may earn free admissions through referrals!
