We took five students to participate in the STEP Conference at U of A.

The SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) Conference is a chance to learn what an education and career in science, engineering and technology (SET) is all about. This fun and interactive day shows young women and gender diverse students in grades 10-12 that there is more to science than medicine and more to engineering than building bridges, and more to technology than sitting behind a computer screen. SET jobs are interesting, collaborative, diverse and support every aspect of our lives.

The SET Conference will gives participants an opportunity to find out answers by:

• Talking with role models who are studying science, engineering and technology;

• Participating in hands on STEM activities 

• Having the chance to spend a day on the University of Alberta campus and learn about being a student here

• Meet like-minded peers.
