This STEM program has been developed by Black STEM Students to provide Black youth with role models and a safe space to explore STEM and develop skills critical for the future. This program is offered at no cost to families with the generous support of Actua and the Government of Canada’s CanCode program.

Guided by Indigenous STEM students, the STEM Clubs are grounded in Indigenous land-based learning, demonstrating the intersections between Indigenous knowledge, STEM, and engineering design to Indigenous youth from Grades 1 to 8. We aim to renew students’ pride with their Indigenous identity and increase their confidence in the pursuit of STEM careers and education.

This club will journey through how various STEM fields evolved as students learn the origins of scientific discoveries, technological breakthroughs, and engineered inventions that have significantly impacted our society. As students make their voyage through a sea of design challenges and apply the engineering design process, they will speculate what the future holds for these technologies and inventions, and be able to apply them into their daily lives.

This club will navigate through the design and manufacturing of automobiles. From engines to wheels, students will understand how various automotive components are built and innovated to develop alternative vehicle technologies to propel the future of our world. As students dive deeper into the automotive industry, they will have an opportunity to design their own automobile, applying the engineering design process and their knowledge to the test.

Have you ever been in a room that is always too hot or too cold? Windows, doors, insulation, room size, and furnace size affect how much heat is needed to keep a room at a pleasant temperature. Grab your calculators because we will be calculating the amount of heat necessary to keep a room warm and learning the math behind heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

This program will feature Black Excellence in the field of STEM. Margaret Ikape, PhD candidate at University of Toronto, shares her passion for science, her journey, and research interests in the fields of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Join Let's Talk Science Outreach to read Ashley Spires's book, "Fairy Science'' and complete a hands-on science activity about static electricity!

In this activity, students will discover the magic of static electricity. Using everyday household items, they will then create their own fairy and use static electricity to make it flap its wings.

Discover the many ways nuclear science has been integrated into our everyday lives. Join Let's Talk Science virtually for an exploration of nuclear energy and power generation here in Canada, as well as the many ways radioactivity is used for diagnosing and treating disease. Industry speakers will give short talks explaining how we harness nuclear reactions for electricity and medicine, as well as the science of radiation protection. A career panel will explain the diverse array of jobs available in the nuclear industry and what a day in their lab, office, or reactor might look like.

Join the Let's Talk Science team at the University of Guelph in celebrating International Women and Girls in STEM Day on February 11th! We'll be hosting a career panel featuring some amazing women in STEM fields, who will be talking about their journey into science, their career aspirations, and advice for younger students who are interested in STEM. This event is designed for middle school/high school students and educators, but we welcome all ages!

Students will work in teams to solve a “mock” forensic case. They will learn how to plan, execute and search for a missing person, as well as use biographic details from the human skeleton to achieve a personal identification and investigate a cause of death. Student teams will synthesize data collected and write a few sentences about the person(s) they have studied, describing the evidence that supports their conclusions. The lesson wraps up with a classroom discussion to compare findings with other teams.

Join Let's Talk Science Outreach to read Joanna Cole and Jane B Mason’s book, "The Magic School Bus Ups and Downs: A Book About Floating And Sinking" and complete a hands-on science activity about the density of liquids!

In this activity, students will learn about liquids and density. Using everyday household items, they will discover the different densities of liquids through a layered density experiment.

No matter the type, all forms of energy have environmental impacts. This session will examine the environmental impacts that conventional energy systems continue to have, as well as the cumulative impacts of developing and deploying renewable energy systems. We will also discuss tools we can use to compare the total impacts of different systems across their life cycle, and techniques and methods for mitigating and remediating environmental damage.

In celebration of Black History Month, WiSER is hosting a virtual panel discussion showcasing the contributions, achievements, and lived experiences of a diverse group of black women in STEM. Our event will be held virtually via Zoom on February 17th, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm MST.

This event is sponsored by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).
