Engineering Experience for Girls !!

Good Afternoon,

The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto is committed to making science, technology, and engineering accessible through interactive and hands-on activities and events. As such, the Faculty’s Outreach Office offers a variety of enrichment programming throughout the year for high school students.

One of our more heavily attended programs is the Girls’ Science and Engineering Saturdays (GSES). Registration for GSES is now open, and we thought some of your female students may be interested in taking advantage of this amazing opportunity. We would appreciate it if you could share the information below in your school’s science, technology and math classes.

GSES features fun hands-on, discovery-based science and engineering activities for girls in grades 3 through 12. The program is offered at the St. George campus of the University of Toronto in the Fall and Winter each year. We offer a new, age- and grade-appropriate curriculum each term so students can attend year-round.

The Fall sessions for this program are Saturdays from October 20 to November 3, 2012 (2 pm to 5 pm each week) The meta-theme for this term is: Science, Engineering and Entrepreneurship

Our instructors are female undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in science, engineering or technology-focused subjects. They lead and mentor the young girls in a friendly and enthusiastic manner.

We also offer Saturday Science and Engineering Academy, our co-ed programming for students in grades 5 to 12 during the Fall and Spring term. Registration for the Fall 2012 session is now open; for a list of courses available, please visit http://outreach.engineering.utoronto.ca/preuniversityprograms/SSEA.htm

If you would like a copy of our brochures to distribute, please let us know.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact our office at 416-946-0816 or via email at enrichment@ecf.utoronto.ca.

Sincerely,

Your Engineering Outreach Team
