Soapbox Science Toronto - 2023
Our annual Soapbox Science (external link) event hosted at The Word on the Street (WOTS) (external link) was held on May 27, 2023 at Queen's Park in Toronto.
Soapbox Science is a global public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science that they do. With the help of 13 volunteers and 7 speakers, we engaged with over 200 adults and children in one day.
