Our Mission
Youreka connects hundreds of motivated students to conduct meaningful, self-directed research projects that contribute to nationwide scientific advancements. Our data science-based curriculum gives students the tools to become global leaders, ready to tackle challenges in areas like biomedicine, social science, corporate finance, and more!
We strive to empower youth across Canada to become innovators, leaders, and citizen scientists by connecting them with meaningful learning experiences and mentorship through our 10-week program.
Citizen Science
Citizen science is predicated on public participation in scientific research. Our program provides youth with an opportunity to participate in the scientific community and make a meaningful contribution to their field of interest. Our approach to citizen science is about empowering high school and undergraduate students to make a tangible impact on their community.
“We believe in an education system that empowers students to use the scientific process and apply it to the unknown world. … Our model is based on the idea that students can generate knowledge, and that in doing so, they actually become more informed about their world and are able to practice their skills within it.”
