Iron Willed: Women in STEM | Volonté de fer : les femmes en STIM

DESCRIPTION

You are invited! Please join us to celebrate the opening of Iron Willed: Women in STEM travelling display.

What? Launch event for: Iron Willed: Women in STEM

Do women and girls, as well as their parents, educators, and employers, see themselves equitably represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields?

Women have made significant contributions to STEM – and continue to do so – but their stories are often untold. Why is that? This travelling display shares some of these stories and provides recognition for the crucial role of women in STEM. Through text and images, the display tells the stories of historical and contemporary Women in STEM, their scientific contributions as well as their challenges in the face of persistent systemic barriers.

When? Wednesday April 3rd, 2019 7:15pm Visit of exhibition 8:15pm Reception

Where? Perimeter Institute, 31 Caroline Street North, Waterloo ON, N2L 2Y5
