Girls and STEAM presented by STEMCELL Technologies encourages participants ages 12-14 to pursue their scientific interests and explore potential career fields by expanding their knowledge of and access to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Design, and Math), opportunities.

Girls and STEAM provides a range of different opportunities throughout the year – from online webinars reaching schools all over the province, intimate in-person studio sessions with local STEAM professionals, to our annual Summit celebration.

This inclusive program welcomes participants and mentors of many gender identities – whether you identify as a girl, trans, genderqueer, non-binary, Two-Spirit, or gender questioning.

Studios

These in-person events bring together the most popular sessions of the Girls and STEAM Summit, our interactive workshops!  

Join us for an exhilarating morning of hands-on learning. These studio sessions give you the chance to work alongside experienced STEAM professionals and try your hand at all sorts of different activities.

Each Studio will consist of two different sessions, and you’ll get a chance to try both of them! This event is exclusively for participants ages 12-14 years old.


Livestreams

Find out about STEAM careers and speak to professionals, no matter where you are! We host online livestreams events throughout the year so that everyone can engage and get involved with Girls and STEAM.

These are opportunities for both individuals and school groups to join in. Whilst there are no age restrictions on who can join these livestreamed sessions, they are most appropriate for those in Grades 6 to 8.
