The 2019 Lake Superior Youth Symposium is going to be an amazing event and we want you there!

We're inviting 300 youth in grades 8-12 to the UMD campus to:

Work with scientists, engineers and artists and explore many ways to engage with the environment and pursue your passions.

Hear internationally known speaker and 2013 CNN Hero Chad Pregracke in a keynote address talking about his career cleaning up rivers which started when he was 17

Go on fun, field trips in the area to enjoy art, canoeing, boating, hiking and exploring in locations up the shore and around Duluth

Hang out at the Great Lakes Aquarium for an evening pizza party and dance!

Teachers are welcome to form a group and accompany them to act as a chaperone and learn alongside the youth.

Details and registration instructions for groups are on the website.


Start planning now for your group to come to UMD and be part of this amazing experience!
