On March 27th, in collaboration with Real Ventures, McGill's Chemistry Outreach Group joined other STEM experts and educators for the Future Innovators Science Fair at the Royal Charles Elementary School for International Women’s Month.

The Chemistry Outreach group dazzled students with a series of exciting, hands-on experiments. One member of the group, Paty Islas Garcia, shares her thoughts on how her educational experiences shaped her perception of women in STEM, and inspired her to pursue a career in science.

With the help of groups like Chemistry, Real Ventures strives to improve representation in STEM, and empower youth of diverse backgrounds to become their own science leaders.
