Innovators in the Schools

What does a "real scientist" look like?

This program seeks to eliminate the stereotypical idea of a scientist by presenting real scientists in real workplace settings. 

Innovators in the Schools connects science professionals with students all over Saskatchewan by web broadcasting from the Innovator’s workplace to the students’ classroom. This web visit will allow students to visit a professional work environment right in their very own classroom. By broadcasting the Innovator from a work environment, specific work and research will be highlighted in a unique way. 

Presentations will be approximately an hour in length and include time for student questions. This program is at no cost to you!
