Empowering the Next Generation of Scientists: McGill’s Chemistry Outreach Group and Real Ventures Join Forces to Encourage Diversity in STEM

On March 21st, 2024, McGill’s Chemistry Outreach Group participated in the Real Ventures Future Innovators Science Fair at the Royal Charles Elementary School. The event was held in honor of International Women’s Month and saw other STEM experts and educators come together to inspire students.

During the science fair, members of the Chemistry Outreach group engaged students with a series of captivating experiments that sparked curiosity and excitement among the young minds. Paty Garcia, a member of the group, shared how her own educational journey had influenced her perception of women in STEM fields and motivated her to pursue a career in science.
