Future students

There's growing awareness of the lack of diversity in science and the presence of barriers to inclusion. What factors lead to disparities in representation? Why should we be motivated to effect change? What can we do to change things? Will our actions really make a difference? 

Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium - Virtual Grad Studies Fair

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics.

The University of Waterloo's Engineers Without Borders Chapter presents our Sustainable Engineering Design Challenge! If you are a high school student passionate about learning more about the engineering design process, excited about talking & learning from current engineering students & professors, and collaborating with like-minded individuals then this event is for you!

Our competition will be on March 20th from 4:30 pm - 8:00 pm where you will be competing in teams of 2-4. You can sign up with or without a team (we will place you in a team with other students). Sign up for a night of learning, innovating, competing, and most importantly, winning prizes!

This session seeks to share lessons learned regarding embedding EDII into grant applications. Dr. Trevor Charles will discuss his experience embedding EDI principles to his research group and in a recent NSERC grant application.

Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

If you're in Grade 10 and planning to attend university, you and your parents are invited to this online event to learn what you can do now to prepare.
