Conference

The Canadian Youth STEM Conference (CYSC) is aimed at students in Grades 9-12 across Canada who want to fuel their passion in the field. Hosted at the University of Waterloo and streamed nation-wide in partnership with Shad Canada, the program features insightful talks delivered by leading experts on emerging technology, an innovation challenge, and opportunities to form new connections.

Institutions of higher learning are environments where new ideas, visions, and discoveries are cultivated. These pursuits are enriched through diversity of thought and perspective in an environment where we strive for a spirit of pluralism.

Unfortunately, universities can be the target for attacks by those who may feel threatened by this important work. The conference responds to this challenge and contribute to discussions on academic freedom and the principles of freedom of expression.

Join us on campus on April 4th for a full-day symposium: an interdisciplinary event where a variety of people and organizations across the private and public sectors will come together to discuss and learn about the opportunities and challenges provided by robotics over the coming 5-10 years.
