Try/CATCH (Computing and Technology Conference for Her) is an exciting outreach project organized by the Women in Computing Science (WiCS) at Simon Fraser University.
Try/CATCH is a one-day in-person event for high school girls/non-binary students from grades 8-12, with a major objective of helping them develop an interest in Computing Science, Engineering Science and the field of technology. Throughout the event, students participate in a variety of enriching workshops focusing on developing skills in areas such as programming, robotics and other computing- related aspects. Networking is encouraged and the advantages of working in a technology field are highlighted through discussion with women mentors from industry, current female students, and representatives from technology companies.
This year’s Try/CATCH event will be taking place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the SFU Burnaby Campus.
The event is FREE for all students and food is included.
