Kaylin McLeod: Inspiring Youth Through Engineering Outreach

Take a break, we're on Smoko. This week, we're joined by Kaylin McLeod, Manager of Camps at UBC Geering Up Engineering Outreach. We delve into the world of STEM education, youth engagement, and the transformative impact of early exposure to engineering.

Kaylin shares her journey from a background in developmental psychology and neuroscience to her pivotal role at Geering Up. She reflects on how her early interest in psychology intersected with her passion for engineering education, particularly through hands-on learning experiences.

We explore Geering Up's innovative programs designed to introduce children to STEM fields through engaging activities like summer camps, workshops, and outreach initiatives in rural and Indigenous communities across British Columbia. Kaylin emphasizes the importance of experiential learning and community engagement in shaping the future of STEM.

"Exposing kids to engineering early is everything—sparking curiosity that lasts a lifetime." – Kaylin McLeod

Kaylin also discusses the broader implications of Geering Up's work in addressing the underrepresentation of marginalized groups in STEM fields, advocating for inclusive spaces where all youth can thrive.

Tune in to this inspiring episode of Smoko as we celebrate the intersection of passion, education, and community impact in the world of STEM.
