Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Girls STEM Clubs

Each Girls STEM Club session will allow girls to explore STEM themes through interactive activities designed to introduce youth to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts including engineering design, scientific inquiry, and coding. Check the program details below to see what levels we are currently running.

The club will also connect participants with like-minded, supportive peers and role-models who will encourage girls to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.

    This winter, our All-Girls STEM Club sessions will allow girls from grades 1 to 3 to explore STEM themes through interactive activities designed to introduce youth to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts including engineering design, scientific inquiry, and coding. Our winter Girls STEM Club will run in person for 4 weeks straight. In each one and a half hour session, participants will have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in interactive lessons with hands-on activities! The activities will be led by female engineering students and allow participants to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills in a comfortable and supportive environment.

    The club will connect participants with like-minded, supportive peers and role-models who will encourage girls to pursue STEM fields in the future.

    All Girls TinkerCAD STEM Club

    Click here for registration

    Join us for 4 weeks of design fun, as this workshop takes participants behind the excitement of racecar engineering! Open to girls in grades 7-8, this workshop will give participants the tools and knowledge to design their own race cars using the free online website TinkerCad.

    For the first time at Engineering Outreach, we are proud to introduce the world of motorsports and vehicle design to young girls. Together, we will explore reasons why cars look the way they do and the effect different design aspects have on its performance. 

    Over the course of the 4 weeks, participants will learn tools and techniques to end the month with a cumulative concept vehicle, designed on the TinkerCad free website. Learning something new each week and adding to their cars, this workshop aims to encourage critical thinking through design choices, backed by physics that participants will explore. No previous experience or knowledge is required.
