Depuis 1981, SCWIST a fait de grands progrès dans la promotion et l’autonomisation des femmes en STIM. Lorsque vous vous inscrivez, veuillez envisager d’ajouter un petit don pour soutenir nos programmes afin que toutes les femmes et filles intéressées puissent voir où leur avenir en STIM peut les mener.

SCWIST Quantum Leaps est une conférence virtuelle sur la carrière conçue spécialement pour les filles de la 8e à la 12e année intéressées ou curieuses d’explorer des carrières en sciences, technologie, ingénierie et mathématiques (STIM). Cette conférence offre aux filles un aperçu de ce que font les femmes dans les domaines STIM dans leur carrière.

Lors de ces événements, les filles peuvent rencontrer des professionnelles qui ont réussi dans leurs domaines STIM et rencontrer d’autres filles partageant les mêmes idées et qui partagent des aspirations et intérêts similaires. Cet événement les aidera à mieux connaître les domaines STIM qui les intéressent et à découvrir de nouveaux domaines STIM. Quantum Leaps vise également à aider les élèves dans la transition entre le secondaire et l’enseignement supérieur.

This particular Quantum Leaps event will focus on women professionals working in careers related to Clinical Research in Oncology and Pediatrics as well as Biochemistry and Teaching. They also have expertise in science communication and facilitating learning. Did they have a fixed plan for what they would like to do five years after high school? How do they ease into changing their career focus? Did they know that they wanted to pursue these careers when they joined university? Girls will get the opportunity to interact with these women to get the answers they need at the event.
