Operation Minerva (OPMIN)

Each year Operation Minerva projects across the province provides young women an opportunity to share an experience of Job-Shadowing a Female Mentor in a math, science or technological related career. To date each Project has been very successful in giving these young students an opening for success in their futures.

A student organization at the University of Calgary started to support and encourage women who were interested or engaged in careers in the sciences and engineering. Established in 1990, WISE provides a support system for students through educational tutorials, guest speakers, field trips, connection groups, a scholarship and much much more. Continuing to work towards fostering an academic environment where both female and male students can promote the participation of women in Science and Engineering. WISE believes students can benefit more from their post-secondary education through exposure to a wide variety of activities, both scientific and social.
