Campers in Carleton University’s Virtual Ventures program recently had a surprise visitor – Catherine McKenna, minister of Environment and Climate Change and Ottawa Centre MP. Virtual Ventures is a not-for-profit organization run by the Faculty of Engineering and Design, offering nationally recognized technology and engineering programs for youth from junior kindergarten to Grade 11. Along with summer camps, Virtual Ventures has been running fall and winter clubs, school outreach workshops and girls’ outreach events (notably Go ENG Girl and Go CODE Girl) for almost 25 years.
