To make STEM more accessible, ESQ All-In proudly partners with local organizations to connect with youth living with disabilities, including neurodiverse youth, ensuring every young mind can explore, create, and thrive. We focus on adapting our STEM programs to meet the unique needs of our participants while working alongside our partners to create lasting memories!
Our mission is to create inclusive STEM opportunities for youth living with disabilities and fostering a strong sense of belonging within the STEM community. We believe their voices and ideas are essential, and we strive to ensure they have meaningful opportunities to contribute and shape the future of STEM.
If you are a community partner who works with youth living with disabilities and are interested in hosting a hands-on STEM workshop, event or club, please reach out by emailing engoutreach@uwaterloo.ca!
