Northern students learn science through virtual program incorportating Michif, Cree and Denesuline languages and cultures
Approximately 500 students from nine northern Saskatchewan communities learned about science during a virtual program in May and June held by the University of Saskatchewan.
The Science Ambassador Program usually has university students go to the communities to instruct the workshops in-person, but went virtual this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Instead, supplies were sent to schools beforehand so students could still participate in activities teaching science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Cree Longjohn, a member of Sturgeon Lake First Nation and the student coordinator for the program, said it was important to give students the opportunity to do these workshops even during a pandemic.
