September 23, 2017 - 8:45 am - 4:30 pm
Are you interested in learning how you can apply coding to understand the world around you? Coding and
computer science play a large role in all fields of science today. In this full day youth (Ages 15-19) workshop you will learn great skills that will come in handy no matter what career path you choose. After this workshop you will be able to use information that is all around us to create new knowledge. This event is the first of its kind put on by the Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) who work to engage youth in science.
