The High School Mentorship program connects high school students with undergraduate and graduate student mentors to help students with professional and personal development, while introducing them to new people, ideas, and inspirations. Each year we have around 20 mentors and 20 mentees participating in events such as coffee hangouts, design challenges, and resume workshops.
High School Outreach
Overview
The main focus of the high school outreach team is to encourage high school students to pursue careers in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Through engaging and informative presentations, we educate high school students across the GTA of the diverse opportunities in science and engineering.
High School Conference
This year, WISE will be hosting the annual High School Conference, bringing together high school students from Ontario with post-secondary students, industry guests, and those in academia. The day will consist of keynote speakers, workshop series, and more on the topics of innovative research, post-secondary education in the STEM fields, and personal career journeys. Register here or check it out on our events page!
Upcoming Events
This event gives high school students a unique opportunity to experience university life at the University of Toronto. This one-day event allows students to attend lectures, tour research labs, and engage with current university students and professionals in STEM fields.
On October 11th, 2024 students will get a first-hand look at what it's like to study in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. The day will include guided tours, interactive sessions, and the chance to connect with university mentors who can offer insights into both academic and personal development.
