Career Panels & Presentations
We provide several opportunities for youth to talk to researchers about their experiences, career pathways and passions. This includes undergraduate student, graduate student and staff scientist panels so that youth can hear from individuals at all stages in their career. Many of these speakers offer experiential learning opportunities where students may visit their labs and participate in activities such as lab meetings. This is great way for youth to establish a network early on and see different STEM-careers.
Here are some examples of our offerings:
-
STEM Talks Series
In this monthly virtual session, a different STEM topic is highlighted each month. Students will hear from 3 UHN speakers who work in the field highlighted. Speakers share their education and career journeys and respond to questions from participants.
-
Speak with a Scientist
Students will get to converse with a scientist or attend a session where multiple scientists will talk about their experiences. The scientists will share their education and career journeys and then open the floor to questions. This can take place in-person or virtually.
-
Graduate Research Talk
Hear from a research trainee at UHN via a 30 minute Zoom presentation. Graduate students will speak about their ongoing research and what their graduate (MSc/PhD) studies entails. Learn about their studies in STEM, academic journey and current projects over a virtual Zoom presentation.
