WinSTEM Week is an annual province-wide celebration led by the Alberta Women’s Science Network (AWSN) to recognize, support, and celebrate women and gender-diverse individuals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). It is a time to highlight achievements, foster connections, amplify diverse voices, and inspire the next generation of innovators and leaders. Following the Government of Alberta’s official proclamation establishing the third week of October as WinSTEM Week in perpetuity, we are excited to continue this growing tradition across the province.
From October 11–17, 2026, communities throughout Alberta will come together through events, workshops, networking opportunities, and outreach activities that showcase the impact of women in STEM and encourage greater participation in these fields. WinSTEM Week 2026 will celebrate the accomplishments of women in STEM while creating opportunities for learning, mentorship, collaboration, and community engagement. We look forward to welcoming participants from across Alberta as we continue working toward a more inclusive and equitable future in STEM. Together, let’s celebrate achievements, inspire future generations, and build a stronger STEM community for all.
