Inspiring Future Women in Science 2025
PRESENTING SPONSOR:
Perimeter Institute hosts an annual inspirational half-day conference, typically held in March. The goal is to bring together like-minded young women with a strong interest in science and expose them to the rewards, challenges, and possibilities of a career in science.
The webcast recording for the 2025 Inspiring Future Women in Science conference can be found here.
What is it like to be a woman in physics?
Perimeter students, researchers, and staff share their experiences in celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Read their stories here.
Forces of Nature poster series
Women have been historically under-represented in physics; progress is happening, but there is much work to be done. Part of making positive change includes celebrating the contributions women have made to science, especially those women overlooked in their time.
That’s why Perimeter Institute has created the free “Forces of Nature” poster series. Download your copies here and read more about the pioneering women of stellar astronomy here.
Escape the museum
In this free online escape room activity, you are accidentally locked in the Forces of Nature Museum after it closes, and will need to solve a series of challenges to escape! The puzzles require logic and creativity; advanced mathematical skills are not required but the youngest members of your household might prefer these colouring pages instead. Play the online version or download the classroom edition.
