💥 Dedicated to Barrier-Free Programming
⚡️Targeted Outreach, Education, Workshops, Training & Camps
🤖 Celebrating 30 years of STEM education!
📍Atlantic Canada SuperNOVA is a not-for-profit initiative of Dalhousie University that promotes science, engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM) to youth in Atlantic Canada. Based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, SuperNOVA offers engaging and innova

tive workshops, summer camps, clubs, and community events throughout Atlantic Canada that provide youth with rewarding experiences in STEM and nurture a life-long love of exploration, creativity, and academic achievement. As well as providing our youth engagement programs, SuperNOVA provides a wide variety of training to teachers and educators to improve STEM education across a variety of sectors. All SuperNOVA programs are designed to complement provincial learning outcomes and incorporate practices and policies recommended by provincial and national organizations with expertise in STEM outreach, youth development, and day camp management. With the support and guidance of Dalhousie University, Actua, and our supporters representing the private and public sectors, we are able to enhance our core programs with specialized outreach initiatives and services that ensure that youth, regardless of their geographic location, socio-economic situation, ability or gender, can be inspired and empowered through STEM.

Nearly 10 years ago, Ikenna was a SuperNOVA camper, spending part of his summers exploring computer science, engineering, and science through SuperNOVA summer camps.

Fast forward to 2026, and we’re thrilled to welcome Ikenna back to SuperNOVA - this time as an Engineering Instructor!

Listen in as Ikenna reflects on his experience as a camper, what inspired him to become an instructor, and how his time at SuperNOVA helped shape his educational journey at Dalhousie University.

“I went to these camps as a kid, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to teach the kids like how I was in the past... and hopefully inspire them.” 💙

Camp is… for critical thinking! 🤔

The challenge? Drop a (plastic) egg from a third floor stairwell without it breaking!

Swipe 👉 for some behind the scenes of groups working hard to make sure their eggs will be protected! 🎈

It’s hard to believe there are only 2 weeks left of STEM camp - we look forward to seeing all our week 8 campers on Monday!
