The Faculty of Science has hosted summer workshops for P-12 educators in the past. Feedback from educators has been very positive. Below are some of their comments. If you would like to see a workshop in a specific science or math area for a day or two during March Break or during the summer, please contact us.

"I definitely enjoyed the workshop. Came away with lots of great ideas and a better feel for what the profs are looking for from their entry-level students. I was in heaven receiving so much free material. Hope to see you again next year!"

"I really enjoyed the day--I'd like to do it all over again! The research was fascinating, and everyone was cordial and willing to share what they were doing. I think students would also be really interested in that kind of day. As a teacher, I found it a welcome change from the usual conference day! A lot of the research does relate to our students and to educational issues in the classroom, so there is a lot to think about. Thanks for the opportunity, and let me know when you might be giving
another such day!"
