Description
Third-year undergraduate physics students in our Science Communications course were assigned the task of designing, building, and testing hands-on activities tied to the grade 6 science curriculum. In partnership with the Guelph Museum, we then ran a week of activities for local-area schools to participate through field trips. This presentation will discuss the collaboration in more detail, highlighting feedback from elementary-school teachers and our student-designers. We had more than 700 students passing through the stations, and, building on the success of our first event, we are now planning for STEM Week 2019.
