Do you ever wonder…
What should I study in university? What are my career options if I’m interested in STEM? What is university like?
If you are a Grade 8-12 student and these questions are on your mind, then perhaps this is the right event for you! The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Speaker Series provides secondary school students with the opportunity to meet and interact with university students, faculty members, and/or working professionals in STEM fields. For our April talk, our speaker will shed light on their role as a software engineer and a developer advocate. The latter role involves actively helping developers succeed in using a platform or technology through sharing knowledge and providing technical feedback to product design. Join this talk to learn more!SFU continues to offer opportunities to engage high school students in science explorations. There are two workshops coming up. DETAILS HERE.
