Helping Nerds See Themselves in a STEAM Future
Girls and STEAM, presented by STEMCELL Technologies, is creating a nerdier future by encouraging girls* ages 12-14 to pursue their scientific interests. Science World helps young minds explore potential career fields by expanding their knowledge of and access to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art & design, and math) opportunities.
As part of Science World’s Science for All strategy, we are actively breaking down barriers to STEAM for underrepresented groups — which includes women and girls. Girls and STEAM provides a range of different opportunities throughout the year — from livestreams reaching schools all over the province and beyond, 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.
