Don’t wait this long to discover what engineering is all about, what courses you need to take, the different types of engineers there are, meet current female engineers from industry, and try out hands-on activities related to coding, tech, math, and physics.</p> <p>By the end of this one-day conference, you will have a clear understanding of the engineering field, what engineers do, and how to pursue this career!</p> <p> </p><div class="uw-media media media--type-uw-mt-image media--view-mode-uw-vm-standard-image align-center" data-width="500" data-height="333"> <img src="/women-in-engineering/sites/default/files/uploads/images/gr1011conference.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Go Eng Girl Keynote Group" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <h2>Schedule</h2> <p><span>The <a href="/women-in-engineering/node/279">conference schedule</a> will include sessions on making high school course choices, what to expect from engineering as a path of study, how to pursue engineering as a career and what engineers do!</span></p> <p><span>The </span>schedule and speaker bios will be updated as information becomes available. </p> <h2>Location</h2> <p>This conference is held on campus at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ. </p> <h2>Availability</h2> <p>40 participants</p> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Registration is now open! </p> <p><a href="/women-in-engineering/sites/default/files/uploads/files/engineering_outreach-signout-general_wavier.pdf">General Signout Waiver</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockuw-cbl-call-to-action"> <div class="uw-cta "> <div class="uw-cta__center-wrapper"> <aside class="uw-cta__aside org-eng"><a href="https://fortuna.uwaterloo.ca/weconnect/" class="uw-cta__link"> <div class="uw-cta__wrapper"> <div class="call-to-action-theme-org-eng"> <div class="uw-cta__text uw-cta__text--small">Gr. 10/11 Conference</div> <div class="uw-cta__text uw-cta__text--big">REGISTER NOW!</div> </div> </div> </a> </aside></div> </div> </div> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockuw-cbl-copy-text"> <div class="uw-copy-text"> <div class="uw-copy-text__wrapper "> <p class="highlight">The $15 registration includes all meals!</p> <p>This is an amazing value for your meals, participant and parent engagement and an understand of the path to an engineering education.</p> <h2>Supporters</h2> <p>Thank you to our generous supporter, <strong>Hydro One</strong>.
