Welcome to LiNKS for Life, where we’re shaping the next generation of STEM leaders through fun, hands-on learning experiences! At Loyalist College, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). That’s why we’ve created LiNKS for Life – a dynamic youth program designed to inspire, educate, and empower youth across Ontario.

Thanks to our valued partnership with the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) and the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), we were proud to launch our successful FREE STEM Kit program this fall. Through this initiative, we have already provided 120 educators across Ontario with Ontario Curriculum-Aligned lesson plans, along with the training needed to effectively deliver these lessons in their classrooms.

The program focuses on hands-on, play-based learning, aiming to ignite curiosity and excitement in students from Grades 4-10 about the world of STEM—particularly in the rapidly evolving field of Critical Minerals. We are dedicated to fostering deeper student engagement with STEM subjects and nurturing the next generation of innovators in Ontario.
