In partnership with RAM Consulting, a world-class engineering firm based out of Vancouver, The C.O.D.E. Initiative is hosting a one-day event to introduce self-identifying girls in grades 5, 6, and 7 to the vast world of engineering! 

Students will be guided by an engineering mentor to design and execute three fun and engaging projects from the disciplines of civil engineering, mechanical/electrial engineering, and coding/robotics.

This event aims to empower young girls to explore the world of engineering through activities that require collaboration and critical thinking in a welcoming learning environment and under the guidance of accomplished women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. 

This workshop is BY DONATION.

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring anything else to the workshop?

Please bring a water bottle. Snacks and lunch will be provided. If your student has allergies or prefers to bring their own snack or lunch, they are welcome to do so.

Are parents supposed to stay for the event?

Parents are not asked to stay, you are welcome to drop off your student and return at the end of the workshop. If you are required to stay with your student please contact us at info@thecodeinitiative.ca.

Can I still register if the student can’t stay the whole time?

Due to the nature of the workshop, where activities will build upon each other, we ask that registrants attend the full workshop for a complete experience.

Where can I park?

The nearest parkade is at Pender Place (750 W Pender St, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T7), however, the workshop is also easily accessible via Skytrain and very close to Waterfront Station.

Is the workshop outdoors?

The workshop will be conducted indoors due to the weather and as the technology needed for many of the activities must remain inside.

What do you mean by neurodivergent?

We mean students who have a diverse way of thinking, learning, socializing, or processing. This includes students who identify as autistic or have lived experiences with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Generalized Anxiety, or any other diverse needs or intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.

My student would benefit from learning/social/communication accommodation how can I make that known?

When filling out our Registration Form, there will be a section where you can add any accommodation and/or learning/social/communication needs. If you wish to discuss accommodations at greater length please contact us at info@thecodeinitiative.ca.
