Confidence, Careers, and Community: The Impact of Techsploration

Confidence, Careers, and Community: The Impact of Techsploration

What happens when young women and gender-diverse youth see role models who look like them in STEM and skilled trades? They realize they belong.

In this episode of All Hands on Tech, host Eilish Bonang sits down with Margaret Davidson, Program Manager at Techsploration, and Jenna Slaunwhite, the team’s Program Coordinator — both proud Techsploration alumnae.

They share how this nonprofit is breaking down gender stereotypes, boosting confidence, and helping youth in Nova Scotia and PEI explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and trades.

Margaret reflects on her full-circle journey — from being a Techsploration participant in 1998 to now leading the very program that once inspired her. Jenna highlights how the organization teaches not just career skills, but life lessons — from public speaking to problem-solving.

The trio also dive into the importance of representation, the power of mentorship, and how meaningful industry partnerships and thousands of volunteer hours make Techsploration’s work possible.

If you’ve ever wondered how early career exploration can change lives — or how "if you can’t see it, you can’t be it" rings true — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
