Some of our Grade 9 girls had a chance to participate in Explore IT today. They attended several workshops learning about different careers available in the Math, Science, and Technology world. As well, participated in a keynote presentation from the organizer for Cybermentor.
Cybermentor is an online mentoring program for girls in grades 6 to 12 across Alberta. Each girl is matched with her own carefully-screened mentor and the two connect online throughout the school year using their computers, phones or tablets.
By chatting with their mentor through a secure site, the girls learn about the wealth of careers and opportunities in science and engineering, discover new interests and gain confidence. The mentors—inspiring women in diverse careers in science, technology, engineering and math—enjoy the experience of being a role model and motivating the next generation of scientists and engineers.
