After receiving positive feedback during first round of STEM-Pals, UCalgary CIDE is back with the second round of STEM-Pals, a pen-pal/mentorship program to link middle school students in Calgary with University students who are passionate about STEM.Our main goal with this project is to inspire students to explore future careers in STEM/discuss higher education and overcoming obstacles. We will be matching volunteers from the UofC with Calgarian middle school students. Once paired with a student, volunteers in this program will write a 6 letters (emails) to their matches and receive 6 in responses. This would run over the span of six months i.e. from November till the month of Apri. We will match students with volunteers using an interest-based method, to ensure that students and volunteers share some common ground and can make the most out of their partnership.#EDI #Mentorship #Diversitymatters #change #Scienceforeveryone #DEI #Inclusivity
