This 12-week, online, after-school program is structured so that groups of girls (ages 10-18) learn how to identify a problem, design and test a solution, collaborate with a team and communicate effectively. Each team will work though the Technovation curriculum with assistance from a mentor. <\/p>\nGirls Get IT (<\/strong>May 26<\/strong>, 2018)<\/strong><\/p>\nOpen to girls ages 9 to 11.<\/span> Each year, the Faculty of Applied Sciences hosts a great opportunity for girls aged 9-11 to learn about the fields of Computing Science and Engineering! Participants take part in various activities and have the chance to talk to current students about what it means to be a computing scientist or engineer. All activities are supervised by SFU faculty and staff. Girl Guides Canada participants complete all requirements for both their computing science and engineering badges. <\/p>\nScience AL!VE (Throughout the year)<\/strong><\/p>\nOpen to grade K to 9 students<\/span> depending on the specific program. Science Alive provides opportunities for youth to explore science beyond the textbook through hands-on, interactive discovery which stimulates their interest and fosters confidence. A student-run not-for-profit organization based at Simon Fraser University, Science AL!VE is supported by the Faculty of Applied Sciences, and a member of Actua, a national organization that reaches 225,000 youth annually. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
