On Saturday, July 15, 2017, hEr VOLUTION will feature 15 high-profile Canadian Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) at Twenty Toronto Street Conferences and Events (located at 20 Toronto Street, Toronto). The speakers will share recommendations on how to close the gender gap in STEM, as well as how to incorporate diversity in schools and the workplace. hEr VOLUTION founder Doina Oncel says “this initiative is about unsung heroes, Canadian women in STEM who motivate and inspire the next generation of young women to follow their path and consider careers in STEM.”
Currently, there is a shortage of girls and newcomer, indigenous and low-income youth interested in STEM subjects. The conference is aimed at students seeking opportunities in STEM, and professionals in the field who support diversity and closing the gender gap for women in STEM. The conference is endorsed by CATA (Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance) and CanWIT (Women in Tech). “hEr VOLUTION aligns with CATA’s vision, we are committed to encouraging women to join the technology market and enrol in technology-related STEM studies,” says CATA CEO, John Reid.
