We are not currently looking to fill any positions, but watch out for opportunities to volunteer on our mailing list and check out the outreach programs in Ottawa below.
A major component of CU-WISE's mission involves reaching out to younger students to share our love of science, engineering, and technology. In the process, we hope to be good role models and help these students discover that these topics really are fun and exciting.
Instead of starting our own outreach programs, we decided to offer our support to the many programs already available in the Ottawa area. We hope that our members will volunteer their time to these great initiatives.
