Building Bridges: Empowering Hispanic Girls & Moms in STEM

Building Bridges is a 6-week mentorship program designed to introduce Hispanic girls (ages 8-15) to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) while fostering a strong bond with their mothers or female guardians. Through hands-on activities, mentorship from industry professionals, and interactive learning experiences, participants gain confidence, problem-solving skills, and exposure to engineering and technology fields.

This program, led by Mujeres Omega Foundation and supported by AWNS, runs from March 1 to April 12, 2025, at Creator Studio & Venue YEG in Edmonton, AB. It is free of charge, volunteer-driven, and aims to inspire the next generation of Latina leaders in STEM.
