Public Outreach
 Each year, REAP-Canada sparks youth's interest in science and technology through its participation in the Explorations Summer Day Camp Program hosted by McGill University. A presentation is given to students ages 15-18 who discover what REAP-Canada is all
about and how their devotion to the sciences and social development can make an international difference. This year, students engaged in conversation about international development, roasted marshmallows on the Mayon Turbo Stove, and learned about the hardships of a rural Gambian lifestyle through a video presentation.
If you are interested in having REAP-Canada provide a presentation to your organization, school, or upcoming conference, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@reap-canada.com.
