he/him/hisCommunications ManagerYouth Science CanadaHi 👋
I’m Stu, the Communications Manager at Youth Science Canada. You may know me as the guy sending you a bunch of emails all the time, or maybe as the tall guy at CWSF, always walking around with a camera in hand and talking with a funny Aussie accent. At YSC, I’m responsible for most of the internal and external communication pieces so expect to keep hearing lots from me over the next few months. I’ve created the new Regional Network community for regional STEM fair committee members; I host the Why to How podcast, and I run the youth-focused Discord server called the purpleSTEMwave.
Feel free to reach out anytime to say hi and tell me what’s happening in your world. I also like talking about mountain activities, most sports, software & technology, and creative pursuits.
Thanks for being a part of this community. You are immensely appreciated and are quite literally shaping the future of Canada just by being here. You’re amazing!
