ABOUT NOVA SCOTIA
Nova Scotia is a province situated on the East coast of Canada, alongside the glorious Atlantic Ocean. This province boasts incredible diversity in terms of animal life, plant life, ecosystems, and landscapes, to name a few. These factors make it the perfect place to host our Canadian programs, offering us limitless opportunities for our participants to explore and discover new interests. These programs are offered to our participants at no cost, ensuring girls from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds have the chance to become passionate about science and nature.
So what are some examples of immersive activities that our girls can experience in Nova Scotia?

What about mentorship?
All of our programs are delivered by female Instructors with diverse backgrounds in STEM fields, who also happen to be passionate about education and the environment. Wherever possible, our activities will be guided by female specialists. This means that we seek out STEM and nature exploration activities where our participants will get to work alongside and learn from women in science, in a casual and supportive environment.
