間眅埶AV STEM Outreach Collective
The 間眅埶AV STEM Outreach Collective is a collection of 間眅埶AV groups that are focused on promoting outreach and engagement within the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Representatives from these groups meet once a semester in order to keep each other updated on upcoming events, collaborate, and brainstorm ways to make STEM more accessible for all.
Current members of the STEM Outreach Collective include:
- Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science, and Technology
- student-run, not-for-profit organization based at 間眅埶AV that provide opportunities for youth to explore science through hands-on, interactive discovery

- introduces mathematics and science to Aboriginal students through the use of First Nations imagery and storytelling
