What an amazing two days! 🌟

Last week, our program proudly hosted over 300 attendees from more than 40 First Nations at the Indigenous Youth STEM Summit.

The summit was filled with inspiring moments, thanks to our incredible speakers, event Emcee Eagle Eagle Blackbird, volunteers, tradeshow exhibitors, organizers, teachers, and parents who made it all possible.

We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to an event focused on lighting the way toward rewarding careers in STEM for Indigenous youth.

Take a look at some highlights as students explored exciting pathways in fire and safety, engineering, water and wastewater, housing and infrastructure, environmental science, and more! 🔥💧🏠🌿⚙️

We all need a little help sometimes.

Having someone in your corner who has lived through similar experiences is an advantage. Mentors are superheroes—they inspire, guide, and support us through our journey. And sometimes, they need a reminder of how much they mean to us.

✨ Cheers to the mentors who look like us, who show up, support, and help others thrive in their careers and life. ✨

Tag your superhero mentor in the comments! 🧡
