Webinar: Widening & Increasing the Participation of Youth in STEM
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
Why is it critical to engage underrepresented youth in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)? How can we widen and increase the participation of girls, racialized youth, and young people from low-income and marginalized communities in STEM programs?
Join us for this engaging and interactive discussion about the importance of providing equal access to STEM opportunities, and how these opportunities can be designed to engage youth not typically represented in STEM fields.

- support positive youth development
- facilitate mentorship
- address opportunity and achievement gaps
