Engineering Science Quest (ESQ) was formed in the fall of 1990 when two Waterloo undergraduate students saw a similar program at another Canadian university. Taking what they saw to Waterloo, they ran their first camps for grades 5 and 6 students in 1991, and reached 200 students.

Since then, ESQ has grown to be recognized as a leader in Science and Engineering camps in Canada and now offers multiple summer camps for children entering grades 2 to 9.  In addition to summer programs ESQ offers year-round programming including March Break camps, After School programming, in-school workshops, special events and community programming. Annually ESQ is able to reach over 10,000 children and youth.
