Happy 80th birthday Dr. @RobertaBondar 1st Canadian woman and neurologist to travel to space! What a legacy Dr!🙌🏿 Friends, visit the exhibit at @Museumoftoronto featuring her and 51 other Women Who Shaped Toronto! Let's make sure we continue to champion more @GirlsInScience ❤️

Curious young minds are fearless and often see things the rest of us miss. Sharing the “intimidating” science we and others do (and watching the ideas & connections come alive through their eyes) is the favourite part of my job.
Excited to join @GirlsInScience for Catch a Wave later today, where we explore how waves reveal what’s happening inside our bodies, our health, and can be used to build the tech we need to drive the meaningful breakthroughs that matter.
Don't worry. There's no math, just discovery. So parents, jump in too.

Today I got to build my own Birchbark Canoe with the @eddigenous Kit - wooden ribs, sinew, and wooden crosspiece. 🛶🌿 Thank you @GirlsInScience for this amazing session! I really enjoyed combining traditional Indigenous engineering with modern, eco-friendly materials.

Today, I've learned about how birchbark canoes are made using birch wood and sinew, as well as its history of construction from the early Indigenous Peoples! Thanks to @GirlsInScience for this amazing session!

BIG NEWS: For the FIRST time in HISTORY, @NASA 's incoming astronaut class of scientists & engineers includes more women than men.
Here in Canada, orgs like @GirlsInScience make these 1sts possible!
PLEASE check CAGIS out and support them😀
The sky ISN'T the limit for girls!

During this week's session, I've learned plenty about mechanical engineering, systems, and how to simulate it using hydraulics. It was amazing getting to learn the science behind these machines. Thanks to @GirlsInScience and @ConestogaC for this amazing session and the kit!

Thanks to @ConestogaC and @GirlsInScience for the hands-on and fun Micro Mechanics workshop that taught me about building a hydraulic lift using simple things like wooden skewers, syringes, tubes, and a cardboard box.

Thanks @GirlsInScience and @geo_gill_ivey for an amazing session on the occupational and physical assistance on the human body. I created my own working model of ball joints, and hinge joints. Here's my elbow and hand model in action!
Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) retweeted
Today, I’ve learned plenty about the various joints found in the body. I’ve created this arm to simulate the functionality of the joints found in the arm. Thank you to @GirlsInScience for this amazing session!

I learned lots about water quality testing and community science. Thanks to @GirlsInScience and @water_rangers for this amazing session!
Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) retweeted
Thanks @GirlsInScience and @water_rangers for an amazing workshop on how to analyze water turbidity with my very own home-made Secchi disk! I got to test my own water sample through alkalinity, chloride, and so much more with my Water Rangers Test Kit!

Elissa recently graduated from CAGIS (and high school)! This is a great read about Elissa's 10 years with CAGIS and discovering her passions in STEM. Link below ⬇️
“I have explored unforgettable labs and behind-the-scenes places, met inspiring STEM experts, got involved by becoming a Teen Ambassador, and discovered my future career path.”
Elissa Coe tells us about her inspiring journey with CAGIS, from her first event at age 7 to graduating high school as a CAGIS Teen Ambassador and entering the Health and Exercise Science program at UBC Okanagan.

CAGIS members are going on to do great things! ✨
Giulia (@giuliasrossi) discovered her love of biology at a CAGIS event. She is now an award-winning biologist and inspiring the next generation as a CAGIS volunteer and role model!
Hear about Giulia's story ⬇️
“My love for biology started many years ago at a CAGIS event where I dissected a cuttlefish, one of the most amazing marine animals.”
Giulia Rossi is an award-winning biologist and CAGIS graduate. Listen to her story here.
Over 96% of youth leave CAGIS events feeling like they could be good at STEM, and 94% of CAGIS graduates are studying or working in a STEM field today! When you support CAGIS programs, your contribution breaks barriers for girls and gender-diverse youth in STEM, all across Canada. Visit GirlsInScience.ca/Your-Help to donate.
