For the past eight years, Suncor Energy Inc. has offered substantial support to Operation S.M.A.R.T® making it possible for Girls Inc. of Northern Alberta to deliver the STEM based program to young girls across the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.
The Operation S.M.A.R.T. program is a partnership with BrainStem Alliance that enables us to inspire the next generation of female engineers by offering Operation S.M.A.R.T. This is a 10 session program where girls ages 10-14 will work with female engineers to explore the vast array of engineering disciplines. This is a hands on, interactive, and life transforming program. The program will consist of weekly 3 hour sessions that will include discussions of basic scientific theory as well as activities that will reinforce engineering principles and disciplines.
