At STEM Camp, we believe in celebrating the extraordinary individuals who have shaped our organization and inspired the communities we serve. This summer, we are proud to introduce the Len Girard LEGO Challenge, named in honour of our beloved board member and friend, Len Girard.
Len was not only a dedicated supporter of STEM Camp but also a civil engineer whose work was defined by creativity, precision, and a passion for building. He had an infectious enthusiasm for problem-solving and was known for inspiring others—values that align perfectly with the hands-on, innovative learning experiences we create at STEM Camp.
The Len Girard LEGO Challenge will be a central feature of our summer programming each year. Designed to spark creativity and critical thinking in our campers, this exciting unit will challenge participants to explore the principles of engineering, design, and collaboration through engaging LEGO-based activities.
Each summer, the challenge will include:
Len’s love of LEGO reflected his lifelong fascination with building and creativity—values that align perfectly with our mission to nurture curiosity and inspire the next generation of problem solvers. By naming this program in his honour, we aim to keep Len’s legacy alive, reminding campers each summer of the joy and possibilities that come from thinking big and building together.
The Len Girard LEGO Challenge is more than just a program—it’s a tribute to a remarkable man who made a lasting impact on all of us at STEM Camp. Len’s kindness, generosity, and passion for education continue to inspire our team, and this challenge ensures that his memory will live on in the smiles and achievements of our campers.
We invite you to be part of this incredible experience. Whether you’re a camper, parent, or supporter, you’ll see how the Len Girard LEGO Challenge brings engineering principles to life in a fun and meaningful way. Together, we can honour Len’s legacy by inspiring the next generation of builders and dreamers.
