WISEST is piloting a new program!
Conversation Cafés are 60 minute, conversations where students grade 6-12 are welcome to participate and talk about STEM, mentorship and more!
At a Conversation Café there is no homework, no exams, just a space that helps to shift from small talk to BIG talk. Join WISEST as we enter into conversations about how mentorship in STEM can help support students in university and beyond.
An example of a café topic is "STEM is for Everyone." Panels include a staff member from WISEST and two volunteers ready to talk virtually or in-person about STEM careers and how to get there. We have created a lesson plan for junior high school teachers that can be tailored for any age group.
- Delivers transformative experiences that invite a student’s exploration of their own STEM identity.
- Leads narrative-shifting work that redefines who can thrive in STEM.
- Creates inclusive spaces that are safe for, affirming of, and accessible to, people with different lived experiences and intersectional identity factors.
