AWSN Casino - June 12th and 13th

Thanks to the support from our volunteers and the contributions we have received from our funding sources, including this casino, AWSN has been making meaningful contributions to STEM since its founding in 1993. This year marks our 30th anniversary, and we look forward to continuing to be advocates for the future of STEM in Alberta for the next 30 years and beyond!

Do you have one day to help us raise the funds we need to continue supporting Alberta-based STEM programs?  AWSN is seeking volunteers to staff our 2023 AGLC Casino, being hosted at Elbow River Casino (218 18th Ave SE, Calgary) on Monday, June 12th and Tuesday, June 13th, 2023.

AGLC is the main source of our funding, used to support diversification in Alberta STEM fields. In the past, volunteer hours have been rewarded at up to $250 per volunteer hour in funding to our organization! No experience is required to volunteer and all training will be provided at the casino event.

Please share your thoughts on AWSN's strategic direction

As AWSN moves forward and examines our strategic direction, we are engaging the wider Alberta STEM community in gathering opinions to aid in our process. We have prepared a short survey to gather community thoughts on AWSN's path forward as we review our strategic plan. Please complete the survey and help AWSN shape our coming years. If the survey is completed with contact information by 11:59PM December 7, 2021, you will be entered into a draw for a pair of Hillberg & Berk Supernova earrings.

Our Mission: Enabling a culture of diversity and inclusivity through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Programs. AWSN acts as the platform that initiates or supports programs, partners and stakeholders who amplify, magnify, or accelerate systemic and social change within the greater community, allowing all to participate to their full capacity in STEM
