Let’s Talk Science is committed to preparing youth in Canada for future careers and citizenship demands in a rapidly changing world.
Our world is rapidly changing and children and youth in Canada need to be curious, ask questions and be capable of challenging the status quo in order to succeed. In a world increasingly driven by innovation, the demand for people who can fill science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) - related jobs - will only continue to increase but the reality is that most students in Canada disengage from STEM courses before graduating high school.
Let’s Talk Science is a national charitable organization committed to preparing youth for evolving career and citizenship demands in a rapidly changing world. Our goal is to positively impact every child in Canada, from early years through secondary school. We do this primarily by providing programs and resources for educators that help them improve youth education and engagement in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Our robust suite of programming is available in English and French at no cost to schools, early years centres, community organizations and parents/caregivers. We also support a diverse network of volunteers, the majority of which are postsecondary students who build career-readiness skills themselves by delivering and participating in Let’s Talk Science programming.
Let’s Talk Science connects the world of science, technology and innovation with education, bringing STEM to life in meaningful ways that build diversity and inclusion, and awareness of future opportunities. This helps to reduce barriers to STEM, and build interest and a sense of belonging. Let’s Talk Science coordinates a national platform of informed, innovative educational programming that is regionally responsive thanks to unique collaborations with academic and community partners, governments, industry, private donors and volunteers.
