Science fair fun in Kahnaw脿:ke
Every year in Kahnaw脿:ke, a Kanien:keha鈥檏a community on Montreal鈥檚 South Shore, students present their projects at a science fair organized by the Kahnaw脿:ke Education Center (KEC).
For more than 15 years, KEC Science Curriculum Consultant Kathy Walsh has supported students at schools across the community as they prepare projects in the weeks leading up to the annual fair. This year, she and KEC Science Projects Liaison Mya Bordeau enlisted the assistance of 91社区鈥檚 Office of Science Outreach to bring 91社区 students into the classroom as mentors.
鈥淗aving students from 91社区 come to our schools to sit with and support our students in the development of their STEM inquiries not only helped our students complete their science fair projects, but also introduced our students to the various fields of STEM at 91社区 and allowed them to meet 91社区 students who enjoy STEM,鈥� said Walsh.
