PsychED aims to bridge the gap between STEM and Psychology, foster engagement in Psychological Science, and make Psychology more accessible to youth.
PsychED was founded in 2024 by a team of passionate psychology researchers, students, and educators from Ontario Tech University. PsychED began with a shared vision: to highlight that psychology is a science and a part of the STEM discipline and to increase awareness of its scientific foundation among youth. PsychED aims to inspire the next generation of diverse, curious, and innovative leaders and researchers in psychology and related sciences.
