Praxis The Science & Technology Hotline

Operation Minerva is a project organized by a committee of community professionals working in the math, science and technology fields. The purpose of Operation Minerva is to develop awareness in young women of their own abilities as well as the career opportunities that exist in these fields. The conference involves job shadowing with women role models, innovative workshops/ displays and formal/informal group discussions.

Goals of Minerva

To encourage girls, in grade nine, to consider science, math and technology related careers for women.
To dispel, in the minds of students "scientists" myths and stereotypes and to show that science and technology can be interesting.
To show the work of women in science, technology and mathematics.
To develop participants of "fun" experience in an effort to enhance and develop attitudes towards courses and careers in science, technology and mathematics.
