STEM Fellowship is a community of students, educators & industry that creates opportunities for peer learning and open science.

Our mission is to create equitable learning opportunities, connections, and experiences for students to develop modern skills for the digital age.

We provide high school and undergraduate students with their first opportunity of scholarly publication, while enabling them to develop scholarly writing skills.

We foster inclusion and diversity in STEM fields by creating mentorship and research opportunities for students from communities traditionally underrepresented in STEM.

We foster future digital citizens through student-driven experiential learning programs in analytics, research, and scholarly communication.

Key Initiatives

We organize the Canadian Young Physicists’ Tournament which is the qualifier for the International Young Physicists’ Tournament.

STEM Fellowship Journal

We run an open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal, published by Canadian Science Publishing, to enable high school and undergraduate students to showcase their research and join the scholarly communication community.

Scholarly Writing Challenge (SWC)

The challenge provides high school students with an opportunity to showcase their original research.

Ambassador Program

Our high school ambassadors promote our initiatives, represent our organization at community events, and provide feedback on our initiatives to contribute to the development of the organization.

REO provides high school students from communities traditionally underrepresented in STEM with the opportunity to conduct STEM research in a university lab

STEMpowerment Mentorship

Our mentorship program offers free peer academic support and career guidance to youth who are members of communities traditionally underrepresented in STEM.

Data Science Education

Our Big Data Challenge enables students to develop skills in data analytics, problem-solving, and critical thinking while using technology to address socioeconomic and environmental issues in their communities.

University Branches

Our 22 university branches act as local representatives of the national STEM Fellowship team and hold networking events, competitions, career talks, and workshops tailored for the students attending the respective institution.

Testimonials

The 2018 STEM Fellowship Big Data Challenge was an incredible experience. The Challenge helped me develop skills in the field of analytics, and taught me the importance of big data in the modern world; the mentorships, online training, and connections I received were invaluable. If you are a high school student, I would highly recommend participating in this incredible program – you won’t regret it! I am endlessly grateful to have had the chance to participate.

Katherine Gotovsky

High School Big Data Challenge

Being an intern at an actual lab was, as expected, a genuinely life-changing experience. It changed my entire opinion on university, my expectations from a potential career in academia, and most importantly, how much respect I have for people working in research. It provided me with an exclusive sneak-peak of research work, and I will be using everything I learned here to make more informed decisions about my own career. I would like to sincerely thank the members of McMillen lab for making my March Break as rewarding as possible.

I had absolutely amazing 2 years working at SF as a Program Development Lead! I’ve never seen a student-run organisation with so many talented individuals before. SF is one of the best places in Canada for any aspiring STEM leader to meet with other enthusiastic folks and together change the lives of students in STEM for better!
Aleksei Shkurin

Program Development Lead

I have always found a love for both biology and coding, and the shadowing program has shown me how a job in research could integrate these two sectors together. This is something that I would never had known if it weren’t for this program. What made this internship great was seeing intelligent people from all around the world gathering to the University of Toronto for a united goal of exploring the realms of science. This internship has sparked a greater passion for research in me, and I might be one of the mentors one day, looking to pass the baton to the future generations.

Research Exploration Opportunity

Participating in this internship organized by STEM Fellowship has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. One of my favorite aspects of this internship was being able to talk with a variety of people in various stages in their medical research career. I was able to inquire about the different possible career paths that each person took, and learn more about the different opportunities within this field. In particular, I was able to talk a lot with undergraduate students employed at this lab and received lots of helpful advice about university applications.
