Soapbox Science 2024
Soapbox Science (external link) is a global public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scitentists and the science that they do. We held our annual event at the Word on the Street (WOTS) (external link) festival on September 28, 2024 at Queen's Park, Toronto. We had 11 speakers, 24 student volunteers, and engaged an estimated 800 participants from the general public.
