Are you looking for a fun way to engage your students in science? Have a Let's Talk Science volunteer do a hands-on activity with your class!
Let's Talk Science is a national program dedicated to encouraging scientific knowledge and curiosity in children and teens. Our graduate student volunteers perform science activities and demonstrations in classrooms, participate in community events, and travel to remote areas for outreach. We work with over 270 educators in the Ottawa region, and best of all, our program is free! For more information, please contact Katy Hartling, our educator coordinator, at educators [dot] lts
