[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In April 2006, Dr. Robinson launched an innovative outreach program called Kids Science<\/a>\u00a0to help \u201cat-risk\u201d youth make informed educational and career choices in the fields of science and technology. Kids Science targets three \u201cat-risk\u201d groups of children who lack equitable access to interactive science experiences:<\/p>\n

  1. adolescents with chronic illnesses who receive medical care from SickKids;<\/li>\n
  2. students who attend middle and high schools in high-risk neighborhoods in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA); and<\/li>\n
