[http://hiskule.skule.ca/home/'''Hi-Skule'''] is a student run outreach committee of UofT Engineering Society, who provides high
school and elementary students opportunities to learn more about engineering. Hi-Skule have the
great and diverse pool of dedicated Hi-Skule mentors who are living the life and experiencing what
might be of doubt to grade 12 student. Hi-Skule runs events such as PreF!rosh, UofT High School
Design Competition and the Engineering Mentorship Coffeehouses to bring about a friendly
atmosphere for high school students to experience hands on activities, get a sense of who
engineers really are and at the same time chat about engineering life with the mentors and have
some fun.

==Vision==
The main values of Hi-Skule are to reach out to many students and engineering enthusiasts and present them with resources about engineering and breaking stereotypes of engineering life, to share the Skule experiences and to provide current engineering students the opportunity of being trained as a mentor to make positive impacts among the prospective engineering students.

128.100.8.199: /* Current Hardhat Colours */

The [[Engineering Society]] provides specially coloured hardhats to many individuals that fulfill leadership roles within the Skule Community. The hardhats provide recognition for these individuals' efforts, promote awareness of their roles in the Skule community, and bolster Skule spirit (facilitated by the Policy on Hard Hats). By tradition, some colours are reserved for groups and individuals external to the Society, including the [[Skule Trinity]], [[Skule Nite]], and the Pink hardhat in memory of [[Julie Wilkinson]].

Hardhats are often decorated by their owners, sometimes with simple stickers and letters to label their position, and sometimes with elaborate gadgets and contraptions. Each year, the F!rosh [[Hardhat Decoration Contest]] is held during Godiva Week to determine who can come up with the best/most creative designs.

==About Julie Wilkinson and the Pink Hard Hat==
{{Main|Julie Wilkinson}}

More info needs to be researched through the Skule Archives, however what is known about Julie is that she was a past Business Manager for the Engineering Society. A part-time industrial engineering student while fulfilling the role and responsibilities of a Business Manager, she was diagnosed with cancer. She was known for making significant contributions to the improvement of the Skule community. Eventually, she passed away due to her illness. The pink hard hat is the Engineering Society's memorial for her, and sits above the Business Manager's desk in the Engineering Society Office.
