Imhotep's Legacy Academy

Imhotep’s Legacy Academy (ILA) is an effective and successful provincial, STEM outreach organization, established in 2003. Based at Dalhousie University, ILA is built on a strong university-community partnership. It aims to redress the under-representation of African Canadians in post-secondary STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) studies.

ILA offers programming to students at three levels of their education:  at the junior high school level via the After School Program (ASP), the FIRST LEGO League Program (FLL), and the ILA Coding Program (ICO); at the high school level via the Virtual School Program (VSP); and at the university level via the Summer Student Research Scholarships (SSRS).
