Creating a more inclusive and diverse future
Brennan O’Yeung is not your average student.
Currently, the 21-year-old is enrolled in engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary, is a valued engineering intern at TC Energy and is also inspiring young students to pursue a career in STEM through his non-profit, Escape with STEM.
Born out of Brennan’s love for escape rooms and his observation of the underrepresentation of Indigenous and female students in his engineering classes, Escape with STEM utilizes STEM-based escape room/locked room puzzles and experiences to inspire students to explore STEM-related education and career opportunities from a young age.
By combing his passion for escape rooms and his career, Brennan hopes to encourage and inspire students to pursue an education in STEM, creating a more inclusive and diverse future.
