A little hello can start
a whole sisterhood.

What if the women who just get it were right around the corner? Bring Sisters in STEM together in your city, on campus, or online, and create a space to connect beyond the classroom and workplace.

  • Connected by STEM, united by sisterhood.

The idea behind a Circle

A smaller space for more meaningful connections.

A Sisters in STEM Circle is a local or virtual gathering where women studying, working, or finding their way in STEM can meet, talk openly, share experiences, and make real friendships.

Think less formal networking, more “I finally found my people.” Each Circle can reflect the interests and needs of the Sisters who gather.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one Sister saying, “come sit with us.”

Feel like you belong

Connect with women who understand the highs, the challenges, and everything in between.

Share more than a job title

Talk about STEM, friendships, confidence, everyday life, and the things that matter to you.

Grow through sisterhood

Exchange ideas, discover opportunities, and encourage each other through new chapters.

Your Circle, your vibe

Gather your Sisters, your way.

It doesn’t have to be a huge event. Start with the kind of gathering you’d love to attend yourself.

Coffee & Conversations

Casual meetups, honest chats, and the simple joy of making new STEM friends.

Big Sister Chats

Real conversations about navigating work, school, transitions, and life beyond STEM.

Skill Shares & Study Dates

Bring your curiosity, swap knowledge, work side by side, and learn from each other.

How to get started

You bring the hello.
We'll talk about the how.

Starting a Circle begins with a simple idea and a willingness to bring people together.

01

Imagine your Circle

Think about the Sisters you’d like to connect and what kind of gathering would feel meaningful.

02

Tell us your idea

Reach out with your city or campus, preferred format, and what you’d love to create.

03

Explore next steps together

Our team can discuss your idea and what it could look like within Sisters in STEM.

I'm interested

Just exploring? That’s okay. You don’t need a venue, a full team, or a detailed plan to begin the conversation.

The idea behind a Circle

You don't need to know everyone to bring someone together.

If you’re a woman in STEM in Canada who loves meaningful conversations and believes in community over competition, we’d love to hear your idea.

  • You enjoy connecting people and making others feel welcome.
  • You want to build community on campus, locally, or virtually.
  • You're ready to bring a little Big Sister Energy to your corner of Canada.

Let’s make it happen, Sis

Your next circle could start with one hello.

Tell us where you’re based and what kind of Circle you’re imagining. Start the conversation through an email and use the subject “Starting a Sisters in STEM Circle.”

Curious, Sis?

Here’s what to know before you reach out.

Does my Circle need to be in person?

No. You can propose an in-person Circle, a virtual gathering, or a mix of both. Share what makes sense for you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to express interest. Tell us what you’d like to create, and we can discuss what’s involved.

Yes, a campus-based Circle is one idea you can propose. Include your institution and who you’d like to bring together when you contact us.

No. Sending an idea starts a conversation with our team. Circle activities and any use of the Sisters in STEM name would need to be agreed on first.
