What is SCYLC?
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. Students will participate in expert lectures, workshops, and interactive activities. 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.
