Great recognition of our superb values-led approach, and particularly good to see that the critical cross-cutting themes of Diversity and Inclusion, and Environmental Sustainability are being recognised. Across the sector, these must be at the fore of how we evolve within the current fiscal and regulatory environment. What we do, and how we do it, matter.

WISE Sudbury Olympics The 25th Annual SETT Olympics that are hosted each year by the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Sudbury Chapter are taking place on Sunday, April 28th at College Boreal in Sudbury. This fun-filled, FREE, full-day event is open to 120 individuals in Grades 4 to 7 who identify as girls or nonbinary from Sudbury and surrounding areas. This in-person event runs from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm and includes a pizza lunch and snacks for all participants. Participants will work in small teams of approximately 5-6 members, engaging in four hands-on challenges from various disciplines in science, engineering, trades, and technology. Each challenge is scored based on teamwork, participation, planning, and creativity. The goal is to introduce SETT (Science, Engineering, Trades, and Technology) in an engaging, positive manner. At the end of the day, all participants will receive a certificate of participation, and medals will be awarded to members of the winning teams.   For more details and to register for one of the limited spaces to participate in this event, visit the SETT Olympics Eventbrite page at: https://lnkd.in/gFukebz9      About WISE: The Women in Science and Engineering (W.I.S.E.) Sudbury Chapter inauguration took place on December 5th, 1998. Since then we have focused on inspiring young women and other equity-seeking groups to connect with professionals to encourage and empower them as leaders in Science, Engineering, Technology, and Trades (S.E.T.T.). This focus has not only been on the academic development of girls and non-binary youth in primary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions, but also on the professional development of women and non-binary people looking for mentorship, guidance, and support throughout their careers.

On February 23rd and 24th I had the opportunity to both compete in the DECA Pacific Northwest Career Development Conference as well as assist in managing the event. Doing both was quite an undertaking but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Here are some things I learned from managing this event! 💬 Communication 💬 From inception to execution, communication is at the forefront of everything. Establishing early on who are the stakeholders, subject matter experts, and event producers is critical to how you will establish communication lines, how often check-ins are required, and how they wish to be communicated with (whether by email memo, in depth check-ins, or meetings). When managing a large scale event there are many hands that are helping (thankfully!) and everyone needs to be on the same page all the way down to the day of event. 🙋 Volunteers 🙋  As an event manager you’re unable to do everything on your own so without their help the conference could not have happened! We needed helpers to assist with pre-conference signage and room set up. Day of they assisted with directing parking, timing, escorting students from their prep area to their competition rooms setting out dinner and breakfast. 🪧 Signage 🪧 Having proper signage makes a world of a difference for attendees. On campus, students needed to walk from our main building over to the buildings where the competitive events were. Shoreline CC’s campus is gorgeous but it can also be a bit confusing to find your way around. Correct and enough signage allows for foot traffic to flow appropriately and minimizes bottlenecking. In turn this adds to the overall experience for those at the conference! 🏅The cherry on top was winning 3rd in State for the Individual Event: Travel and Tourism and 2nd in Entrepreneurship: Starting a Business with my partner Andrew Kariuki! We’ll be taking our product to the next level at ICDC in Austin!
