WISE Kid-Netic Energy is a non-profit organization that offers hands on, curriculum-based science, engineering and technology deliverables to youth K-12.

This past Saturday, WISE Kid-Netic Energy hosted our annual Go Eng Girl event in celebration of the International Day of the Girl!

We welcomed 50 girls in Grades 9–12 and 25 women undergraduate mentors from the Price Faculty of Engineering for a day focused on engineering, mentorship, teamwork, and giving back to our community.

Participants worked alongside their mentors to build 50 interactive assistive switches for people living with mobility difficulties and disabilities in Manitoba. They also adapted 25 toys, including bubble blowers and comfort toys, to make them more accessible for children with disabilities. These toys have already found homes with Manitoba organizations and will be distributed to children this Christmas!

One of the highlights of the day was our first-ever Mentor Library. Participants rotated between mentors representing different engineering disciplines and heard about their journeys from high school to engineering, their university experiences, and their hopes for the future.

A HUGE thank you to Kris from Makers Making Change, an initiative of Neil Squire, who travelled from British Columbia to help bring the switches and adapted toys to life. It was an incredible example of how engineering skills, creativity, and teamwork can make a real difference in our communities.

And a huge shoutout to our amazing Go Eng Girl mentors for supporting participants every step of the way, sharing your experiences, and showing them what their own futures in engineering could look like.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Go Eng Girl 2026 possible!

WISE Kid-Netic Energy is powered by an incredible team!

Every workshop, camp, experiment and STEM adventure we delivered this Spring and Summer was made possible by instructors who brought their enthusiasm, knowledge and care for youth into everything they did. And we still have a few more amazing team members to celebrate!

🌟 Meet Dorcas!

Dorcas joined us while completing her second year of Genetics at the University of Manitoba and heading into her third year. She plans to apply to medical school while completing her undergraduate degree, with hopes of one day pursuing a career in pediatrics.

When she wasn’t helping us bring STEM to youth across Manitoba, Dorcas could usually be found reading (a LOT 📚), baking or trying something new!

And a very WISE fun fact? Dorcas has a TWIN who also worked with WISE Kid-Netic Energy!

Our instructors are so much more than the people leading activities. They are mentors, role models and the energy behind the welcoming, hands-on STEM experiences we work to create for youth across Manitoba.

We are incredibly grateful to Dorcas and our entire instructor team for helping power another amazing season of WISE Kid-Netic Energy programming!

INTERESTED IN BECOMING PART OF THE TEAM?
We’re always looking for enthusiastic post-secondary students who want to inspire youth, build their skills and help bring hands-on STEM experiences to communities across Manitoba!

Explore anatomy, engineering, and human-centred design while building and testing your own prosthetic hand model.

November 14 | Autonomous Technology in Conservation
Build and code an automated tree-seeding prototype while exploring how technology can support forests and conservation.

November 21 | Cardiology: Open Heart Surgery & Suturing
Explore heart anatomy through dissection, try introductory suturing, and put your knowledge to the test in a Heart-Disease Diagnosis Challenge.

Five Saturdays. Five different STEM fields. Completely FREE.

Participants can register for the workshops that interest them — you do not have to register for all five.

🌟 Our instructors made an incredible Spring & Summer possible! 🌟

From classrooms to camps and communities across Manitoba, our WISE Kid-Netic Energy instructors brought energy, creativity, curiosity and a genuine passion for working with youth everywhere they went. We still have a few more amazing team members to celebrate!

Meet Rowben! 👋 Rowben joined WISE Kid-Netic Energy as an instructor during the school year and continued bringing his enthusiasm for STEM into our Spring and Summer programming.

This past summer marked his first experience as a WISE Summer Camp instructor! Rowben entered his third year of General Science at the University of Manitoba and hopes to pursue a career in neonatology, caring for and supporting the health of newborn babies. Outside of science, you could usually find him singing his heart out at karaoke nights with friends or cooking with his family!

Our programming would not be what it is without engaging, dedicated instructors who genuinely care about young people. They are not only there to teach STEM, our instructors encourage curiosity, build confidence, create welcoming spaces and serve as incredible role models for the youth they work with.

And now that school is back in session, we’re excited to bring another incredible team of instructors into classrooms across Manitoba as we continue the STEM outreach work WISE Kid-Netic Energy is dedicated to all year long!

September 1st might be here… but we’re NOT done with summer highlights yet!

We had way too many incredible camp moments not to keep sharing them! Here are a few snapshots from our Thompson & Flin Flon STEM Camps!

We LOVE getting the opportunity to bring hands-on science, technology, engineering & STEM fun to communities across Manitoba and seeing young learners explore, build, experiment, create and discover along the way!

A huge thank you to our incredible crew of instructors, our communities and our supporters like the network for helping make our year-round programming possible!

And yes… we still have MORE summer memories to share!

Looking back on Week 3 of Summer Camp, July 20–23, and what a week it was! Another week where WISE Kid-Netic Energy was in two places at once! We hosted an incredible camp at the University of Manitoba while another group of campers was exploring STEM in Morden, Manitoba, just south of Winnipeg.

From exploring machine learning and flying drones to discovering the science behind movement, our campers spent the week asking questions, experimenting, building, and getting curious about the world around them.

At the University of Manitoba, campers even got a surprise movement break with the Price Faculty of Engineering’s Research Robots "Normi"! Campers learn from Normi, a humanoid robot that focuses on the incredibly complex challenge of replicating realistic human movement on a robot. Thank you Price Faculty of Engineering for the fun opportunity!

Our campers also had an incredible session with Dr. Cheryl Glazebrook and her team from the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, taking Sport Science Day even further. with eye-hand coordination through gaze tracking and 3D motion capture, balance control and movement technology, portable Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and how decision-making and motor skills connect through interactive activities. Thank you

We hear it time and time again: people remember their time in WISE Kid-Netic Energy programming for the rest of their lives.

Week 3 was one for the books. And we were only getting started. We've got MORE To post!!

We’re able to make experiences like these possible thanks to the incredible support of our network, Actua, and the University of Manitoba.

Their continued support helps WISE Kid-Netic Energy bring hands-on STEM experiences, inspiring mentors, innovative technology, and meaningful learning opportunities to youth across Manitoba.

Together, we’re helping young people explore what’s possible in STEM and creating experiences they’ll remember for years to come.
