The fifth annual AISES in Canada National Gathering will give Indigenous STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) students and professionals an opportunity to gather, connect, and create long-lasting relationships within Canada and across the continent. About 200 attendees from Canada and the U.S. are expected to attend the three-day event. There will be activities for high school students, university students, and professionals. Attendees will enjoy several keynote speakers, various sessions, research posters, as well as morning blessings and traditional local food.
"Reclaiming our Wisdom" will explore the cutting edge in STEM efforts and how those in the universal community are reaffirming the cultural ways that have sustained generations of Indigenous people in these areas.
