Location: McGill University, Leacock Building, 9:00am-2:30pm
Girls from the Lester B. Pearson School Board will explore and live the everyday experiences of our amazing mentors who will share their passion for all things STEM. From programming to exploding stars, they’ll learn how they can share in the excitement with a career in STEM.
Meet our Keynote Speaker: Marie Jo Leroux, Ubisoft
If you thought the gaming world was run by boys then think again. Marie Jo is a globe- trotting game producer at Ubisoft. A graduate of McGill, Marie Jo’s life has been a whirlwind combination of travel and exciting challenges, all of which make her the 4G keynote we can’t wait to introduce.
Meet our 4G Host/Event Coordinator and Instructor: Genevieve L’Esperance
Genevieve is a McGill undergrad and host of the YouTube channel GenINCtv. When not speaking at events like Digigirlz or hosting Dare2BDigital or running Teaching Girls Programming sessions, “Gen” is collaborating with other young people worldwide who are looking to use technology to create sustainable solutions for some of the UN’s Millennial goals that address issues like global health, education and resource planning. Gen will be the instructor for the programming session.
Join us,* along with the amazing talents of the Montreal Girl Geeks, Microsoft Technical Evangelists, McGill staff and students and other amazing women who will join us for the Meet the Mentor luncheon. We won’t have workshops, we’re having “Funshops”!
*Partners of this event include: CLUMEQ(McGill, Calcul Quebec/Compute Canada), MICROSOFT, Ubisoft, GENinc, Lester B. Pearson School Board,Teaching Kids Programming, & Montreal Girl Geeks...

Summer School in Computational Materials Science
Summer School in Computational Materials Science
(Taking Place: July 9-13, 2012 at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec)
Course Description
The summer school will cover theoretical and numerical methods for modeling microstructure formation in materials using phase field methods. The format will involve interactive lectures and hands-on work using high performance computing.
Syllabus:
• Ginzburg-Landau theory and phase field models of phase transformations
• Phase field crystal (PFC) models for elastic and plastic effects in phase transformations
• Molecular dynamics connections with PFC and classical density functional theory
• Basics of code development and parallel computing
Experience-Based Learning
Students will engage in preparatory reading prior to attending the summer school. The course will comprise in-class sessions where students will be encouraged to critically examine theoretical concepts through interactive discussions driven by the instructors. Break-out sessions will be held for students to work in teams to practice algorithm/code development for simulating select numerical problems associated with phase field and PFC modeling. CLUMEQ staff will be available to teach students the basics of compilation and execution of codes on a supercomputer. Students already in the field are invited to bring material from their research.
Instructors
• Nikolas Provatas, Department of Physics, McGill University and CLUMEQ/Calcul Quebec
• Ken Elder, Department of Physics, Oakland University
• Jeff Hoyt, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, McMaster University
• Zhi-Feng Huang, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Wayne State University
Registration
Students should register prior to May 30, 2012. Registration is $175 for graduate students, $250 for postdocs. Registration includes course materials, breakfast, lunch and residence accommodation for five nights. To register or for more information email Nikolas Provatas (
