Girls and STEAM Industry Showcase

Ever wondered what STEAM professionals do every day? On October 3, Science World opens its doors to the Girls and STEAM Industry Showcase, where you can meet the pros and find out. Join over 30 local organizations who are shaping our lives, from building future cities to protecting the environment to discovering new ways to look after our bodies. This isn’t a lecture. Get hands-on with activities, games, tasks, and crafts, and learn what it’s like to walk in the shoes of a STEAM professional.

– Interested in health? See the world through someone else’s eye with special goggles, or explore what’s happening inside us with microscopes, and dynamic fluids.

– Are you a nature lover at heart? You’ll get up close to ocean specimens and can become a forest detective, learning how forest ecologists use math to protect ecosystems.

– Prefer the city?! Not a problem! Meet engineers that protect us from earthquakes and landslides, have a go at a flight simulator and even get things moving with forces you can’t see.

The Showcase is part of the Girls and STEAM Summit, presented by STEMCELL Technologies. The Summit is a special event for girls* aged 12-14, packed with hands-on learning, including mentor cafes, workshops, showcase booths, and an amazing keynote speaker. It celebrates the culmination of a year of Girls and STEAM programming, and it’s a busy, exciting day for everyone involved.

While the Summit is for registered participants, the Industry Showcase is open to all Science World visitors on October 3. Explore Science World and meet the pros alongside the Summit’s participants.

*This inclusive program welcomes participants and mentors of many gender identities, whether you identify as a girl, trans, genderqueer, non-binary, Two-Spirit, or gender questioning.
