The heart of WISE is our school program. From September to April, WISE instructors, who are also full time students at the University of Manitoba, visit schools across Winnipeg and in nearby rural communities delivering fun and engaging presentations on many topics of science and engineering. In May and June our instructors travel to rural communities all over the province. Learn more...

The University of Manitoba has generously supported WISE since its inception in 1990. Many companies, foundations and government funds have contributed to WISE along the way and you can join them. The world is becoming more and more technical, and Manitoba is no exception. In order to compete, our economy needs well trained scientists and engineers in our work force. WISE is working hard to spark the interest of youth to consider careers in science and engineering. Please take the time to look over our sponsorship package. We're eager to hear from you. Together, we can make great things happen!
