Join us for an engaging afternoon that brings together storytelling, innovation, and youth creativity through film and live demonstration. This special program features a screening of Rule Breakers, a powerful film inspired by the real-life journey of Afghan girls who pursued robotics against significant odds, followed by a live robotics demonstration by students from Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute. Together, these components create a dynamic experience that highlights resilience, ingenuity, and the transformative potential of STEM education.

Rule Breakers

Rule Breakers tells the story of a group of young Afghan women who challenge societal expectations to form a robotics team and compete on the global stage. Their journey is one of determination, collaboration, and courage, as they navigate political, cultural, and logistical barriers in pursuit of their passion for science and technology. The film offers a compelling look at how education and innovation can empower individuals and communities, while raising important questions about access, equity, and the role of youth in shaping the future.
