Actua envisions a world in which every young Canadian, regardless of background, ability, or socio-economic status, can feel inspired and empowered through science, technology, engineering, and math. The young people we reach today will become the role models for future generations. They will build tomorrow's dynamic, competitive and diverse workforce and will help make Canada a global leader in science literacy and innovation.
