Join us online as we bring together students, donors, faculty, and staff to recognize the accomplishments of our Science students at Waterloo. After the main celebration, award recipients will have an opportunity to network with classmates and faculty members.

Join Kate and Nicole online through March Break to help them recover science lab supplies borrowed (and then lost!) by Mr. Goose and King Warrior! Each day they will guide you through a new science discovery challenge for you to complete at home.

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. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC affiliate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.

This virtual talk is free, however registration is required.
