Folie Technique

SCIENCE AWARENESS ACTIVITIE

THE SPARK THAT LEADS TO THE LIGHT

Folie Technique gives young people opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through creative, interactive and accessible activities.

Each year, more than 8,000 Quebec children and teens attend Folie Technique science workshops designed to give all young people the opportunity to discover the world of science and engineering. Folie Technique workshops stimulate participants' interest in science and allow them to explore their abilities, regardless of where they live, their socioeconomic status or their gender.

Accessibility and
inclusivity

Women scientists of the future

It is important for young women to build confidence in their ability to tackle subjects in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Folie Technique's activities dispel stereotypes about women in science, demystify and instil a positive attitude toward STEM, and encourage young women to pursue careers in science and engineering with confidence.

Youth from disadvantaged backgrounds

Promoting the academic, personal and social success of young Montrealers from disadvantaged backgrounds is a longstanding concern. Folie Technique has partnered with various organizations to develop outreach activities for these children and teens, who would otherwise have less access to science programs. With the support of partners, Folie Technique is also able to offer scholarships for a one-week camp that introduces young people to the world of science.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary commemorating the tragic events of December 6, 1989, Polytechnique Montréal launched the Week of the White Rose, now renamed the Campaign of the White Rose. This annual fundraiser, benefiting Folie Technique, Polytechnique Montréal's science outreach organization, aims to give young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to participate in science awareness activities, through the sale of virtual white roses.
