Actua’s Expertise

Actua is a leader, within Canada and on the international stage, in increasing science literacy among youth, promoting the business of science and connecting youth to STEM entrepreneurship. We give young Canadians access to scientific knowledge that empowers them as thinkers of today and innovators of tomorrow. Our expertise is drawn largely from within our solid network of science-focused member organizations located at universities and colleges across Canada. Through this network, we exchange ideas and best practices. We build and test and rebuild models of program delivery that are customized to engage local and specific target youth audiences.

We also collaborate with community groups, the corporate sector and public agencies to keep our finger on the pulse of best practices in increasing science literacy and getting youth excited about STEM careers. As a result we have become a strong voice on the importance and benefits – both social and economic – of early youth engagement in science, engineering, technology and math.

We welcome opportunities to share our expertise through conferences, participation on round tables, and/or other speaking engagements. For more information, please contact us.
