Techsploration Details
The goal of Techsploration is to increase the number of women working in science, trades, and technology related occupations by assisting young women and non-binary youth from diverse backgrounds to explore a wide range of career options in these fields. Techsploration provides students from grades nine to twelve with opportunities to explore science, trades, and technology occupations by introducing them to mentors in these fields, from their communities, and creating hands-on learning experiences. Our program also helps participants understand the significance of high school math and science for their future careers. Techsploration is inclusive of everybody, including those functioning at various levels of academic achievement and from diverse backgrounds. In addition to the above, throughout the program students also enhance their public speaking and writing skills; they develop communication, leadership, and teamwork abilities. After participating in Techsploration, students report increased levels of confidence, self-esteem, and cultural awareness. Techsploration affects the entire school culture and community. It acts as a catalyst for ongoing community partnerships between teachers, parents, female role models, training providers, educators, school boards, First Nations boards of education, industry, government, unions, and professional associations. Check out our Women In Action video series (on YouTube and our Website) to learn from 40+ female role models in STEM!
