Progress so far

We have raised $300

Help us reach our goal of $2500

Rise In STEM is a grassroots initiative dedicated to fostering a support network of community leaders, students, and professionals to increase access to role models, shatter stereotypes, and demonstrate that any career aspiration is possible. We provide an array of programming to promote STEM learning and leadership among under-represented youth.

Toronto Tech Fest in conjunction with geosimple, Canada Tech Council, OneEleven, laps of Lux, aceocial, and so many more of our ecosystem partners is proud to support Rise In STEM in raising funds and awareness of our mission to break down barriers to higher education.

We are excited to partner with Toronto Tech Fest & friends for the #Giveback Gala on November 26th at Aradia Earth, bringing together Toronto’s Tech Community for an immersive and fun end-of-the-year celebration, all while giving back to impactful organizations like Rise In STEM. 

This is a great opportunity to get behind Toronto's innovative tech scene, network with founders, startups, and meet new folks in the ecosystem.
