WinSTEM Week, organized by AWSN (Alberta Women’s Science Network), is an annual, province-wide initiative dedicated to increasing the visibility, recognition, and engagement of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) across Alberta.
Held around Ada Lovelace Day, WinSTEM Week celebrates achievement, fosters mentorship, and empowers the next generation of STEM leaders. One of the key highlights of the week is the Athena and Minerva Awards, which honour the outstanding contributions of women in STEM at various career stages. Through a wide range of community-driven events, including STEM outreach activities, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.
WinSTEM Week amplifies the voices of women and promotes inclusivity and accessibility in STEM fields. WinSTEM Week is now officially recognized in perpetuity by the Government of Alberta. WinSTEM Week is here to stay!
