I am contacting you on behalf of STEM Fellowship, which is a Canadian registered charity that equips students with skills in data analytics and scientific communication through mentorship and experiential learning programs. We are currently recruiting a Social Media YouTube Manager and two Design Team Video Content Creators to run the SF YouTube account; we believe that this position can offer a valuable professional experience for students and request you to share the details of our recruitment plan with students and contacts at your school.

The Social Media YouTube Manager is responsible for spending at least 1 hour per week being active in the YouTube community. They subscribe to channels that offer similar content as SF and leave comments under those videos to attract our target audience. They also organize the playlist of videos uploaded by SF, form names for playlists and re-write video descriptions to engage a wider diversity of audiences. Design Team Video Content Creators create video content and also act in some videos; therefore, acting experience is an asset for this position. They are also responsible for getting video content reviewed by the design team lead and the marketing strategist team to ensure the content aligns with our specific marketing goals. Furthermore, they collaborate with other Design Team Video Content Creators to discuss future video ideas.

Leading our SF Youtube team can enable students to develop essential skills in leadership, project management, problem-solving, communication and data analytics, while building connections with student leaders and academia and industry experts.

We would appreciate it if you could please share the following Call for Applications with your students: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fqMeJWB-ESXAo3xfIoDWWF_f3E9aebsD/view?usp=sharing

Engineering events for girls!

UBC Engineering is making a difference in the world. Our Professors, students and alumni are devising solutions to real-world issues. Whether it is finding solutions for the climate emergency at the Clean Energy Research Centre, helping rebuild communities after international emergencies, like alumni Sara Badiei, or simply taking an Electrical Engineering course (ELEC 371) to develop hands-on solutions for medical procedures such as hip replacements. Engineering takes what we have learned from science and applies that knowledge to help people and improve the world around us.

We know that many of the girls that choose to study engineering do so because they want to make a difference and help people. UBC Engineering is encouraging even more girls to explore engineering as a career option and we hope you will help by sharing these exciting opportunities.
