Youth Outreach
ready, SET, go!Ready, SET, go! is a free workshop program that is designed to introduce Ontario students (grades 7-8, 9-12) to the vast array of career opportunities in science, engineering and technology fields. The workshop will help students to understand the difference between working as a scientist, engineer or technologist, and the necessary requirements to get there. The workshop will be presented by a female role model and girls will be challenged to view science and technology in new ways that should appeal to their interests. However, the workshop is fully relevant for both male and female students. Find out more about how to bring ready, SET, go! to your school.
