Looking back at 30 years
The Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) was founded in 1992 by Larissa Vingilis-Jaremko when she was 9-years-old because she noticed that girls in her class hated science; they thought that they were not smart enough or the right fit for science, technology, trades, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) fields.
CAGIS began with a single chapter and a group of 20 girls in London, Ontario. Fast-forward 30 years, and CAGIS has local clubs across the country as well as a nation-wide virtual program. It has been lauded for its excellence in science promotion by the prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Michael Smith Award for Science Promotion and the WCT Empowerment Award for leadership in inspiring girls to enter STEM.
