Join us for WIES 2017!
Dear Visitor,
We are excited to tell you more about the fourth annual Women in Engineering and Science (WIES) Design Competition for youth aged 11-14! At WIES we are always looking for new solutions to BIG problems, and we are excited to discover your creativity and design talent! This design competition is brought to you by the Professional Engineers Ontario’s West Toronto Chapter (WTPEO) to help you discover how interesting, fun, and rewarding science and engineering can be!

We are looking for volunteers!
We are looking for team facilitators and volunteers in the engineering and science professions to guide our participants for three workshops and a competition showcase day. This event is the WTPEO's largest outreach project of the year, and will require all the help we can get in order to prepare for, and ensure that it will be nothing short of a success. If you are interested in volunteering with us, make sure you sign up today! Visit the Get Involved tab for more details or
About WIES Design Competition
Overview:
The WIES Design Competition is a design competition open to female and male students in aged 11-14 to help them discover the excitement of Engineering and Science! In order to help them along this journey, the WTPEO will be supporting the participants every step of the way by providing team facilitators who are currently in the field of Engineering and Science. This event runs over the course of two weekends: July 8th & 9th and July 15th & 16th, 2017.
The participants, along with their expert facilitators, will participate in a four days design challenge that will include three workshops, prototype design and building, and final testing and presentation day. In addition to learning about engineering and science from the workshops and facilitators, participants will also have an excellent opportunity to meet other students who are similarly interested in engineering and science!
This year's competition focuses on using the latest technology to create solutions to real world problems. Participants will have the opportunity to work with technology, learn design from experienced facilitators and gain an understanding of how engineering and social/health problems interact in the real world.
