Girls STEM Up: Discovery

The Girls STEM Up: Discovery Conference held at the Fredericton Convention Centre on November 23rd--while a continuation in many ways of the founding GSU Conference--brought a new dimension to the mission sparked by the first event. Newly implemented this past conference were many new additions to the keynote, panel, and round-table speaker lineup, sponsorship and interactive booths featuring potential employers and mentors as well as clubs and societies, and a poster project competition providing researchers with a cash prize. Furthermore, we were able to offer several bursaries totalling over $4000 that were presented to students from UNB and other institutes to further their studies. A series of lead-up events, blogs, interviews, giveaways, and other activities preceded the conference, as well as a post-conference networking social that continued the connections between delegates and others involved. Through the use of the Whova app that we tailored for STEM Up, delegates, speakers, organizers, and more continue to converse and connect even today. Girls STEM Up: Discovery brought together over 300 delegates and even more individuals that committed on November 23rd to continuing the conversion about equality in STEM fields--and that conversation is being continued today.
