In 2021, STEM Camp, Mattel Canada and Toys “R” Us Canada partnered on a project designed to bring awareness to STEM with a focus on outer space.
The Barbie Space Discovery’s STEM theme encouraged the limitless potential in every child to explore their sense of wonder and go anywhere – even into outer space!
The project involved a series of five (5) virtual events with Toys “R” Us Chief Play Officer, Aiden Hepburn, and STEM Camp Education Coordinator, Taylor Barton. In each episode, Taylor leads Aiden through a space-themed STEM activity designed to be both fun and educational. The activities were designed with parents and children in mind in that they are able to be completed at home using materials they find around the house. great job Aiden and Taylor!
