Science Expo is a Canadian national student run non-profit organization that connects high-achieving youth to innovators and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) opportunities. They exist to bridge the gap between the two parties and provide opportunities to excel which features youth-to-youth interactions to help them reach their potential. It is the place where ambitious youth can be at the forefront of innovation, and where young people have the chance to enrich their skills, be empowered to learn and grow, and be inspired to explore their passions and dreams. Science Expo hails from Vancouver to Toronto, with a network of 150 active leaders reaching 80 high schools, representing a student body of over 120,000. They are best known for their flagship annual conference, which has attracted thousands of high school students across Ontario to convene and connect with fellow like-minded students as well as leading innovators and scientists. == History 〔Science Expo's History () 2012.〕 == Five individuals who met at the 2009 Canada Wide Science Fair and wanted to encourage more students to get involved in STEM opportunities founded Science Expo in 2010. Two months later, the first Science Expo, a 2-hour symposium, was held in a Guelph, Ontario high school auditorium. It attracted over 200 students, parents, and teachers, and featured Ph.D candidate and science fair guru Mubdi Rahman as the keynote speaker. The next year, the Science Expo team held its first full day conference at the University of Waterloo, and marked a milestone by successfully registering as a non-for-profit organization. In addition, a group of 5 interns joined the team that summer, 4 of whom stayed on as executives in the following year. Science Expo experienced a rapid surge in growth in 2012, expanding both its team size to a group of 13 high school and university students, and its reach to include the Greater Toronto Area. Science Expo 2012 was held at the Ontario Science Centre, and featured Nobel Prize winner Dr. Brad Bass as one of its keynote speakers. Today, Science Expo has grown to include several other outreach programs. These include a high school ambassador program, a teacher outreach program, and EXPOtential, the Science Expo alumni exclusive mentorship program. Through these outreach programs, the organization hopes to build a network of passionate students who are involved in STEM. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Science Expo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
