The Science Immersion Program (SIP) is a two- or three-week immersion program with a minimum of 80 hours of official immersion time in a participating science or research institution. Ideally, student-interns will be assigned to the institution based on their interests and chosen specialization for Grade 11 and 12. 

The SIP is a required, non-graded course. It can be taken before the start of the academic year for incoming Grades 10 to 12 students.

Through the SIP, the student-interns are expected to:

• learn science, engineering, and research laboratory skills and concepts;
• foster interactions with researchers, scientists, and technical personnel as they participate in research projects;
• be exposed to basic science or engineering principles applied in the operation of the facility;
• identify possible research problems to be pursued as projects in the future; and,
• establish linkages with institutions especially for future collaborations.
