Discovere

DiscoverE is a student-delivered initiative of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta, Edmonton AB. We focus on fun, accessibility and mentorship! We deliver high-impact classroom workshops, unique clubs and events, and engaging summer camps to over 22, 000 youth every year, and our programs reach over 50 communities across northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Our mission is to have children and youth recognize the value and importance of engineering, science and technology in today's world and consider the pursuit of related fields a fun, interesting and rewarding option for their future. DiscoverE was founded in Edmonton in 1993 in response to a national concern about the shortage of engineers, scientists and technically literate individuals in Canadian society. This shortage was identified as a result of the lack of interest in science, math and technology in younger generations. If children are exposed to engineering and science at an early age, they are more likely to pursue further studies in these fields. DiscoverE is a proud member of Actua. Actua provides training, resources and support to a national network of local organizations offering science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education programs. Actua members reach over 200, 000 youth per year. Please visit Actua on the web at www. actua. ca.
