Big Data and AI Inquiry and Experiential Learning
Through a selection of youth-oriented programs, STEM Fellowship equips students with the skills necessary for success in the digital age. Our flagship initiatives foster skills in data analytics, research, and science communication. We also organize additional programs that revolve around experimental physics, cybersecurity, and niche science subjects.
DATA ANALYTICS
Inquiry based programme using Big Data, AI and Analytics to solve real world problems.
EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS
Canadian competitions to select the national team representing the country at the International Young Physicist Tournament(IYPT).
Data Analytics
The High School Big Data Challenge (HSBDC) is a unique inquiry-based learning program that enables high school students to strengthen their critical thinking and problem solving skills, while gaining familiarity with data science. By encouraging students to conduct research projects to collaboratively address issues of real-world significance, the HSBDC fosters the development of young leaders, innovators, and digital citizens.
The Inter-University Big Data Challenge (IUBDC) is an experiential learning program that invites undergraduate and graduate students from any country to strengthen their critical thinking and problem solving skills, while gaining familiarity with data science. Similar to the HSBDC, participating teams are provided with the resources needed to conduct a self-directed research project related to the challenge theme.
Our Big Data Crash Courses introduce students to a variety of data analysis techniques. Students are given the freedom to complete the modules at their own pace. Courses include introductory statistics, data manipulation using R and Python, data visualization using R and Python, and basic machine learning using Python.
Science Communication
Scholarly Writing Workshops are workshops focused on scholarly writing and research skills developed by STEM Fellowship. Our workshops are aimed at high school and university students, and they ensure that workshop attendees develop a strong understanding of the topic through hands-on exercises.
The SciComm Consulting program was developed by STEM Fellowship to offer science communication consulting services tailored to students’ needs on tasks including manuscript writing, preparing and presenting research presentations, and constructing CVs and personal statements. We offer free one-on-one meetings with consultants. These consulting sessions are free of charge for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students.
The Scholarly Viewpoint Challenge is a viewpoint writing competition where mentees are provided an opportunity to hone their scholarly writing skills. Through the Scholarly Viewpoint Challenge, mentees have the opportunity to publish their scientific viewpoints in the STEM Fellowship Journal.
The STEM Fellowship Journal (SFJ) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by Canadian Science Publishing, Canada’s largest journal publisher. The SFJ publishes STEM research conducted by high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Our journal is a unique platform to showcase student research from all over the world.
Experimental Physics
The Canadian Young Physicists’ Tournament (CaYPT) is a national physics competition for high school students. Top performers from CaYPT are selected to form Team Canada, which then represents our country at the International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT). STEM Fellowship is the IYPT Member Organization for Canada.
Cybersecurity
In collaboration with the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and Cisco Networking Academy, our Cybersecurity Classroom Training Program (CCTP) introduces cybersecurity education into classrooms across Canada, making students’ digital lives safer. CCTP also aims to address the cybersecurity skills shortage by increasing enrolment into postsecondary and certification programs in the cybersecurity field.
