Girls Club is for girls in grade 4 – 6 and engages participants through activities designed to dispel stereotypes about engineers and scientists and inspire girls to pursue these studies in high school and post-secondary education.

Girls club meets once a month on Saturday afternoons and explore a different topic with the help of a female role model currently working or studying in science or engineering.

Come and volunteer at a meeting and share your passion for engineering.
