Bright Futures is a science camp for Indigenous youth ages 10-13.
Designed to inspire interest and promote careers in the electricity sector by engaging young people in hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning activities and continuing to evolve based on lessons learned since 2010.
