The Social Change and Youth Leadership Conference (SCYLC) is a two-day conference for high school students in the GTA, focusing on awareness of global development and critical engineering thinking skills.

Their skills will be put to the test in a final case competition where they will work in teams to develop and present an innovative solution to a panel of judges. Students have the option to participate as an overnight attendee and stay at one of UofT St. George’s residences, or attend as a day attendee.

Each year the conference is based on one of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. This year, the theme is Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. Learn more about it here!
