About CKSTEM
Empowering Canadian students to compete globally.
Competitive Kids STEM (CKSTEM) is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that enhances kids' education by enabling them to achieve excellence.
Our unique approach
Bridging the gap of international boundaries.
Through our unique coaching model and competitive training, students are empowered to perform globally. We are committed to bridging the gap of international boundaries and enabling students to become 21st-century global citizens.
Don't settle for less
Start early, compete globally.
We would like to see our Canadian students at the top of all aspects of STEM. It's too late for most students if genuine global opportunities to compete only exist in high school. If we want our students to succeed on a worldwide platform, we need to start exposing them to international contests early in the learning process. Students from most other countries are already participating to gain experience.
For the first time, all Canadian students could compete in a contest with 30 other countries. Students in elementary and middle school did exceptionally well — they captured the top 10 spots for most grades. Many more Canadian students can do it if they are given an opportunity. Hence, we focus on making these unique opportunities available to all students.
We currently offer the best portfolio of contests in STEM in Canada.
