The Main Course

The HYTE program, funded by the BC Scholarship Society and held at Lions Gate Community Centre, offers high school students an immersive experience in technology and entrepreneurship through three phases: Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Competition. Students gain hands-on STEM knowledge, develop business acumen, and apply their skills in a final competition where they can win a $1,000 scholarship by pitching their startup ideas in a "Dragon's Den" style event.

This program not only equips students with crucial tech entrepreneurial skills but also enhances their college applications by demonstrating leadership, initiative, and project completion—key traits sought by universities. Participants benefit from direct interaction with university professors and industry professionals, providing a unique, real-world perspective that prepares them for future challenges in the tech and business sectors.
