Promoting Awareness of Girls in Engineering and Science (P.A.G.E.S.)
As part of Actua—Canada’s largest STEM outreach network—Creative Encounters is committed to creating barrier-free opportunities for underrepresented youth in STEM. Through Actua’s National Girls Program, we empower girls to explore fields like engineering and computer science, where women are still underrepresented.
