Junior Instructor Program

Are you a Grade 12 student who wants to gain some volunteer experience and share your passion for STEM? Apply to join DiscoverE's Junior Instructor program!

Junior instructors are high school students who will be completing grade 12 in spring 2027, and have been accepted into Engineering at the U of A for fall 2027. This program is a great way to get some job experience, get a behind-the-scenes look at the U of A campus and make some friends while you're at it!

Junior instructors help our instructors keep things running smoothly in the camp room. They assist campers with their projects, lead games and activities, organize and distribute hands-on materials and even do some teaching! Junior instructors will be assigned to a different camp each week so that they can experience all the different types of engineering disciplines, and explore the fields they may want to pursue in future.

Upon completion of the full program, participants are eligible to receive a scholarship of $1500. They also have the opportunity to meet current engineering students and learn more about what it's like to study engineering!

Applications for the 2027 junior instructor program will open soon. If you have any questions about this volunteering opportunity, please email devc@ualberta.ca.

Note: Please remember that only those who have been admitted to the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering will qualify for the scholarship.
