AWSN provides support through event funding, services, and information sharing that recruits young women and Aboriginal youth into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers. We help new ideas and fledgling projects evolve into long-term, sustainable endeavors. Below are the groups we supported this year, many of which are long time members.
