About Us

Founded in 2023, Vibrant Markham Foundation is a registered charity organization with the following goals in mind:

• Advancing education by providing STEAM workshops and TechTalk seminars to the general public.

• Providing assistance to newcomers in Canada by providing workers safety (OHSA, WHMIS, AODA, Employment Standards Act) training and tips for job seeking.

• Raising awareness and funds to support other charitable organizations that are also registered charities under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples and their commitment to stewardship of the land. We acknowledge the communities in circle. The North, West, South and Eastern directions, and Haudenosaunee, Huron- Wendat, Anishnabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the Mississaugas of the Credit peoples. We share the responsibility with the caretakers of this land to ensure the dish is never empty and to restore relationships that are based on peace, friendship, and trust. We are committed to reconciliation, partnership and enhanced understanding.

Our Missions

To enhance the intellectual quality and the technological literacy of our community, we have commenced a flagship space program in 2024 in hopes that it benefits our community with this goal in mind. Our one-of-a-kind space program is Canada’s first community-based space program. This program consists of two stages: rocketry (Stage 1) and satellite (Stage 2). We kicked off Stage 1 in August of 2024 by launching a month-long rocketry bootcamp where our students learned how to design and build a rocket with an IMU sensor to track its position in flight. Stage 2 is our ultimate mission where we set our sight in space, some 300 km up in the sky. We are planning to launch our own satellite and set it in orbit for the City of Markham for the very first time by 2026.
Thanks to the popularity of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and Robotics, we have incorporated A.I. and Space Robotics into our space program in the spring of 2025. Through this program, our students are able to design and fabricate an A.I. operated heliostat. Their work is showcased at the City of Markham's Youth Science Exhibition on Earth Day.

I really enjoyed working with their team and shared the joy with our students and the community. I learned a lot under the guidance of their Directors and made many connections along the way that eventually landed me a dream job as an Engineer!"
